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! Una, my congratulations with this fist experience of being a Japanese cook! They look great!

WOW! It looks amazing! Was that your first try at making it? Great job! I've made sushi with friends before, but never on my own. And you made the kimchi yourself? I've tried making it a couple of times but it never seems to pickle properly. Do you know any secrets to making it? Mine just ended up really bland!

That looks really delicious! I've made sushi a few times with my friends and it's very yummy. I want to try making kimchi some day as well.

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?

Wow good job, Una! Those sushi look really good ^^ I'm not too fond of kimchi in general, but as a side dish they are OK.

My husband would be SO jealous! He is dying to learn to make Sushi and Japanese tools, but so far he hasn't tried anything.
This looks so good! 8)

Wow good job!! Everything looks really good! I really love making sushi. :) I haven't tried making kimchi yet. Pretty much only my dad likes it at my house. I've only tried it once when i was a kid and it was just too spicy. :/ Though recently i've tried a kimchi but with cucumbers and it was really good.
