Smoked Salmon & Avocado Uramaki
I haven’t made inside-out rolls in a while and it only occurred to me as I cut the full sheet of nori in half that perhaps it wasn’t large enough. Luckily the old memory was correct and they ended up a perfect size despite that nagging doubt. In a sort of contrast to the previous […]
Frugal Spicy Salmon Maki

Lemon Prawns
Sweet and sour sauce is an easy thing to make, all you need to do is to add a sweet component like sugar or honey to a sour base. A typical home-style one uses tomato sauce as it is both sweet and sour, in the addition of a vinegar or citrus and sugar. I don’t […]
