Then it hit me! Why can't I do this at home for a fraction of the cost? So yesterday, I took a trip to the local Asian supermarket. I was in specialty food heaven! They had everything from meat cleavers to cow and pig legs/feet. It was great. And what was even better was the prices! I bought two sushi mats, sushi rice (normally $9 at Walmart, got double the quantity for less than $3), chopsticks, soy sauce dishes, and all the basic ingredients to make two quality rolls over and over again for under $30! Score!
Pictured is a basic Cali Roll and Crunchy Spicy Shrimp Roll. Nothing too complicated (or raw!), but definitely a start. It is so fun, too! I can't wait to venture out with sashimi style salmon, tuna, and other delightful styles of sushi! I'm sure recipes will come in the future!
