Salmon, mango and coriander maki
Last time we had homemade maki, it was my 13-year-old daughter who made them with crabsticks and scrambled eggs. She made some again last night, ditching the eggs and combining crabsticks with strips of ripe mango. No pics of those though. She, her father and her sister were eating as she rolled them.
Anyway, I was rolling some of my own, a little distance from them hehehe. That’s why I was able to take photos of the maki I made with smoked salmon, strips of mango and cilantro (coriander leaves).
The things to remember when making maki… First, the rice must be wet. It needs to transfer some of the moisture to the nori to make them soft and pliable. Second, the rice must have cooled to room temperature to prevent it from “cooking” the nori. Third, ordinary long grain rice won’t do. You have to use a glutinous variety. Rice for making maki is usually sold as “Japanese rice” in supermarkets, sticky and highly aromatic.

Hi Sassy, I hope you remember me :smile:, I’m the 14 year old girl who comment-ed before (now 15, lol) and I just set up my food blog in relation to my dad giving me an oven!

Hi, Cindy! Yeah, I remember you.
Congrats on the new oven.
If I remember correctly (haven’t used Blogger in ages), there is a tab in the admin panel which leads to a templates page.
