A quick sushi for cookie8.

Yes, I made it with un-rinsed rice. I mostly don't rinse the rice in making rice. Some rice has nutrients added. I don't want to washing them away.

bizzo,

Thank you so much for your comments.

I took a client to a new restaurant named "Two" yesterday in New Hyde Park in NY.

It is a sushi fusion style restaurant. All I can say is spectacular. WOWOW!

It proves again and again that visual feasting is half of cooking.

Chumped By An Eel
Q

Maybe there are different sorts of eels. The ocean eels in the Sea of Cortez had a light texture, lighter and milder than cod. They were pretty big eels. The roasted eel I've had in sushi places has been . . . variable. I think those are usually smaller eels. I found the quote below in an online ''sushi encyclopedia''. If true, it explains why my effort failed and, perhaps, why most people buy pre-roasted eels. But I want to learn to do it myself. (That said, our Baja eel fillets were simply cooked in a pan with butter, and there was nothing rubbery or unpleasant about them - come to think of it, though, I think they were skinned. I have no recollection of how the dock guys did that.) Eel is not part of the original Edo style sushi menu. The reason for this is that Edo (old name of Tokyo) was famous for its fast food industry specializing in Edo style sushi, tempura, soba, and unagi, or eel was no exception. During the Edo period, eel were abundant in the Tokyo area and had a cuisine called the Edomae Unagi. Many unagi chefs existed during the Edo period(a few of them still presently exist throughout Japan) and it was considered a separate profession since it required much skill. Sushi chefs wouldnÃ¯Â¿Â½t dare to sell eel prepared by themselves because they knew they couldn't beat the taste and would make a fool out of themselves. Renowned sushi restaurants in would usually buy prepared eel from professional unagi chefs. Eel is a difficult fish to prepare. It is cooked when used as sushi, and never eaten raw. It has a sweet, but earthy aroma, and if it is prepared improperly, the flesh can smell, and become very tough and rubbery. The eel is first filleted, and then grilled on open flame. This gets rid of excess fat under the skin, which is where the unpleasant scent mostly comes from. Then it is steamed to make the meat fluffy and to further drain out the oils. After this, it is once again grilled on open flame while basting it many times with eel sauce (unagi no tare) which is made from the eel trimmings, soy sauce, sugar, and sake (rice wine). Eel should be soft, fluffy, and very flaky. It is mild in fat even after the grilling and steaming, and that is what a good eel should taste like. It is pleasant on the palate and should never have a fishy or earthy aftertaste. Crushed Japanese green pepper corn called sansho is often served with eel at eel restaurants. While this is not usually used in sushi restaurants, it stimulates the sweet taste of the eel.

Moron In The Kitchen!
Q
Comments (14)
I have had many moronic days in the kitchen, but the worst one was when I start at 5:00 pm on a Sunday and preheated the bottom oven where we keep the pizza stone, to 500 degrees for one hour. Then I make the homemeade pizza, go to the bottom oven and open it...it was cold. I had accidentally heated the top oven. So. Hubby, who must be much smarter than me, put the pizza stone in the top oven, which was already 500 degrees. Meanwhile, I turned on the bottom oven to 500 degrees, not realizing that he put the stone in the top oven which was already hot. So, 60 minutes later, go to put the homemade pizza in the bottom oven, and the pizza stone was in the top oven, which by now was no longer hot. So, finally we got our heads together, and moved the stone back to the bottom oven where it goes, and preheated the stone for only a half hour or so. Needless to say, our hopes for an early supper were shot. We ate at 9:30. Hubby looked at me and said, "What will happen when we get old and forgetful?" So then I removed my head from my butt and washed my hair.

A Delicious (IMO!) New Salmon Dish I Discovered and Wanted to Share

Somewhat off topic, but hubs tried to broil the walleye on the new toaster oven he got for us, and it didn't work right. Sigh. I think we will have to take it back. The heating elements do not heat up properly . . . No wonder it was on sale. Last time he got an Instapot at the same store, (also on sale) we had to take that back too, the locking mechanism was broken. Double sigh. Luckily on the Instapot the replacement works well and we use it all the time . . .

What's for dinner #405, Spring 2023

Neely, your plating is so much more appetizing than the recipe card. I think of jerk seasoning dark like yours. So busy Annie. In the kitchen and out on the farm. What a cutie calf. I have forgotten about potato chips for a crust. I keep wanting to try pork rinds but i . always eat them before i get the chance. A local empanada shop (hand pies) sweet and savory, has one that uses a cornmeal crust. A bit thick for my likes, but i bet a fine cornmeal or mixed with another GF flour would work in a tortilla press. DH thought my strawberries were weeds. But my blueberries are big shrubs and the new ones i put in last year are looking good, (and well marked) For some reason i've been avoiding anything fussy, rolly, stuffed, pleated. But this was easy. I just made four quick sushi rolls. Used the last of the sticky rice. -sleeve

Looks like a very happy and very yummy smiley face.

And, as always, looks good 'nuff to eat! ;>)

I had never even HEARD of rinsing rice before cooking until it was recently mentioned on this forum.

And I have probably been cooking since before a lot of you were even born.

Thanks chase. I have four of those. I always wash them by hand so that the iridescent coating will not be damaged.

Thanks Al. It was a very quick dinner for four.

"Posted by therustyone -------Looks like a very happy and very yummy smiley face. ----"

Thanks Rusty. One of the guests did re-arranged things to make a smiling face.

dcarch - I looked at Two's web site and saw the same team has a restaurant - ahem, excuse me, "food studio" - near me so I went to check it out for lunch today. Well I almost checked it out. Even in pouring rain I couldn't bring myself to have my truck valet parked while staring at a large, empty parking lot! LOL, another day I suppose. Sign up on their web site and you get a free dinner on your birthday. My wife's birthday is next month. Sounds like a plan!

When you visit a food studio do you get real food or only photos of it?

Somehow dcarche's threads always evoke a song. Just the way my head works, I suppose. This time it is Miles Davis' Four.

FOAS,

When I was there for lunch, there was no valet. I thing it must be the rain when you were there.

Price was resonable. The two of us had lunch for under $50.00.

I'm sure your "food studio" is more appetizing (for me at least) than ours here in Tampa. The menu items are served on nude models not iridescent shells.

dcarch - Read again, I'm talking about a different place. But related.

I'll definitely try it sometime soon; it's just minutes away so why not. What I really meant was that I'd rather spend the valet money on an extra cocktail than on a service that annoys me in any situation other than where parking is indeed difficult.

Cathy - I've heard of those places. Might even pay a valet for that!
