HOMEMADE SUSHI

Hey everyone, 
Sushi is probably my favourite food but it can be economically impractical and inconvenient to have to buy it out all of the time so sometimes I like to make my own. This is a recipe which will talk you through the ingredients required and steps necessary to take in order to achieve delicious and healthy homemade sushi.

Ingredients:

Sushi Rice

Seaweed Sheets

 Fillings

Mayonnaise

Ginger

Soy Sauce

Wasabi

Step 1: Put your sushi rice in the microwave to cook  for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 2: While your waiting for your rice to cook, set up your rolling mat with a sheet of seaweed on it.

Step 3: Also while your waiting, cut up all of your fillings. I like cucumber, capsicum and avocado.

Step 4: Once your rice has finished, come back to your rolling mat with seaweed on it.

Step 5: Place a thin layer of rice on your seaweed sheet.

Step 6: Place small amounts of your fillings in the center of the sheet.

Step 7: Make sure to include mayonnaise because this helps stick everything together. 

Step 8: With your rolling mat, roll up the sushi and ensure that the edges are sealed.

Step 9: Slice up the sushi into even sections.

Step 10: Now it's time to set up the table with sushi sides, plates and cutlery.

Have a little bowl for ginger and another one for soy sauce. I also like to include a little serving plate.

I really hope you enjoyed this recipe and if your a sushi addict like me, you might be able to use this to help satisfy your cravings without having to go out and spend more money because it all adds up.

ICED FRUIT TEA

Hey everyone, 

Here is my recipe on something I love to drink, especially on hot summer days and it's iced fruit tea.

 Ingredients

Flavoured Tea

Nectarine

Apple

Sugar

Ice

The first thing is to pick your flavour of tea; I personally really like fruity teas so go for berry ones. For this recipe I used "Cranberry and Pomegranate" but "Raspberry, Strawberry and Loganberry" also works really well.

Make your tea in a large tumbler but don't fill it completely with water, allowing for fruit to increase the capacity. Let it sit for about half an hour to cool down.

Cut up your fruit into wedges. I like to use nectarines and apples because they taste good and are red so match the tea but really you can use any fruits you like.

 Pop the fruit into the tumbler along with some ice.

Add a straw and it's ready to drink!
