Sam’s Japanese rolls
My 12-year-old daughter was craving for maki last Sunday but the only Japanese restaurant in the mall where we were was one her dad didn’t care to go to. She was so disappointed that, on our way home, I decided to pass by the supermarket. I bought a pack of nori and crab sticks. I figured she could roll her own Japanese-style concoctions. It’s simple enough. I didn’t have to buy Japanese rice since that’s what we eat at home everyday.
Of course, I did some of the work. I cooked and reasoned the rice. She cooked the egg. Then, she assembled the egg, crab sticks and seasoned rice on the nori sheets. Take note that she did didn’t even use a bamboo mat for rolling (our bamboo mat is moldy). Just a plate and her hands. Turned out that I bought too much crab sticks. That’s her fingers in the photo dipping a crab stick in a saucer of Japanese soy sauce with wasabi.
Traditional sushi calls for vinegared rice. But there was this recipe for sushi rice in my new Rice & Risotto cookbook that looked really great. So, I threw in a few extras.

[...] 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. [...]
hi, where do you buy JAPANESE RICE and do we have a local name for that? i intend to buy stuff @ sm supermarket and hopefully i’d be able to find japanese rice & rice vinegar too
At Cost U Less in Libis, they have it, ice. In 2 and 5-kg bags, I think. And it’s simply called Japanese Rice.
