When it comes to sushi made with sushi-grade raw fish such as salmon or tuna wrapped in rice/seaweed, the tolerance spectrum runs from a very strong “yes” or a very strong “no”. Enter California sushi rolls that overwhelmingly turn a “no” into a "yes"! Tess will walk you through how to make a variety of California rolls that will make you wonder why you haven’t tried to make them before. California combinations are only limited by your imagination. Make them vegetarian, with or without seaweed, spicy or not; it is totally up to you. Learn the skill of creating delicious seasoned sushi rice, spicy mayo, and how to stuff, wrap/shape the rolls with wonderful filling ingredients. One of your fillings is a crab salad using crab sticks. Tess will also provide a demonstration of plate decorating ideas. Have your questions answered by Tess, interact with other participants and increase your confidence in the kitchen. While cooking-along is loads of fun, and highly recommended, it is optional. You'll receive a list of ingredients in advance with enough time for shopping and preparation. A professionally made PDF packet of Tess's personal recipes will also be shared. As an added bonus, Tess created a private and public group on Facebook for participants. Everyone will receive an invite; joining is optional. Ingredients/supplies: sushi rice, sushi nori/seaweed sheets, toasted sesame oil, (Japanese) rice vinegar. Additional ingredients will be listed in the information packet that will be emailed 3-5 days before class. Bamboo sushi rolling mat can be helpful, but not necessary. One registration fee can include immediate family members living full-time in the same home only. If children are participating, adult supervision is required. If friends, adult children, or extended family members are gathering for a fun night together, each household must register separately, even if participating together.
