Making A Japanese Dinner
Our family loves japanese food and we go out for sushi often. But the girls decided it was time to figure out how to make a japanese dinner at home.
So on Sunday, they did just that.
The menu: Tuna, Yellowtail and fresh crab meat California rolls. Wakame (seaweed) Salad. Shumai (shrimp dumplings) and Pork Dumplings.
Jessica and Emily went to a cool Japanese store in the east village and got the raw materials. And they spent the afternoon cooking.
It turned out great. The Gotham Gal has a bunch of the recipes and more photos on her blog.
I recently took a stab at making sushi from scratch. Rolling them so they look *pretty* when sliced takes more skill than than you'd think.
But, they definitely taste better than store bought sushi (when you've invested 3hrs preparation time into it yourself, they'd damn better)!

I was going to skip lunch today, but after this, I'm headed out (there is a great Sushi place a block and a half from my office)!
