You have all probably tried sushi or some variant, gone out to some sushi restaurant and paid too much for it. Well sushi it doesn't have to be an expensive alternative and you can make it at home as easy as a burrito night only Japanese style!

I have been living in Japan for 9 years now and we do this simple sushi meal at least twice a week, it is simple, social and cheap!

Here's how its done!

What you need:

•Cooked rice

•Cut up a few cucumbers into sticks

•A small saucer with soy sauce

•Your choice of seafood

　

I tend to use the following for my sushi nights:

Hotate (scallops): see salmon, plus thee are a great source of energy.

Salmon: I just love salmon

Muscles: tasty as hell

Tuna with some light mayo: great for the kids if they don't like the idea of fish.

This kind of sushi is one of those things where every one can sit together and make their own, works well if you are having some people over and the best part doesn't take more than 30mins to prepare and even less time to clean up afterwards!
