Roots and recipes (draft)
Do you know why most foods with the name of California in it have avocado in it? Well that is because using avocado in many foods started in California, and there were a lot of avocados in California. Every time my family comes to dinner to dinner at my grandparents house and see the California Maki sushi, they are all so happy. We rarely ever have California Maki Sushi. After my interview with my grandpa I have learned so much about the sushi and how he makes it.
Here are the ingredients that you use and how you make it. You need short grained rice, imitation snow crab, tobico, sugar, mayonnaise, cucumber, avocado, sushi mat, sesame seed, sushi vinegar, and salt. First you cook the rice and season it with sushi vinegar. Then you mix imitation snow crab, tobico, sugar, and mayonnaise then you have crab salad. Next you mix the rice with sushi vinegar and salt. After that you put the nori on the sushi mat and put rice on the nori the sesame seeds on the nori. Then you put a piece of saran wrap on it and flip it over. Then you spread wasabi on the opposite side of the nori without the rice and put on slices of avocado and cucumber and crab salad. Lastly, you tighten up the sushi and press it down slightly to make it more firm.
During the interview I asked my grandpa a few questions. One of them were how did you learn to make this sushi. He said that he learned by watching my grandma make it. I also asked him if it is hard to make sushi. He said that at first it is hard to learn. As you go on and you practice though, it gets easier.
Hopefully I can learn how to make this sushi as well as my grandpa can. So that I can teach my children and so on how to make it so I can pass on the recipe. My whole family loves this sushi they say it tastes so delicious. As for me, I don’t really care for it even though my grandpa works so hard and long on it. I hope that one day I will be able to love the California Maki Sushi as much as my family does.
