Japanese food anyone :)

Last night I made my first own sushi :) As His Hubbiness™ was off with former schoolmates to have some fun on his own I was puttering around at home and was making sushi for myself (His Hubbiness™ is the kind of man who doesn't anything he doesn't know and has never tasted as a kid *sigh*).

I had bought sushi maker sets and all and Nishiki rice and lookee here, it worked just beautifully :)

clockwise: bowl of self-made kim chi, rice with sesame seasoning and cucumber cutouts, gari (pickled ginger), soy sauce and wasabi, a plate of maki and nigiri sushi
I made the nigiri and the maki roles, using surimi sticks, fresh salmon & tuna, octopus and gambas. It was very yummy and I had enough to have a little midnight snack when His Hubbiness™ came home and wanted a snack as well (sans Sushi).

Wow that was really your first try? It looks great, I want to eat it right away!! ;)
I made my own Sushi some times now but I'm not really good at cutting the fish so your nigiris look waaay better than mine.

BTW: Would you mind sharing your kim chi rezept with me?

Yup my first try :) I have molds (Förmchen) for the nigiri and I learnt how to cut up fish and meat when I was a kitchen help in a restaurant during uni.

Kim chi :)
I'm using this recipe:

It is really easy to follow and it tastes delicious :)
