We went to the asian supermarket in town, and were amazed at the discrepancy between its prices and those of regular supermarkets. Some things were less than half the 'regular supermarket' price. Well, I wasn't really all that surprised.
Picked up several things, some seaweed, tofu, sushi rice, miso, fish sauce, chinese basil (so aromatic!), noodles and several other things.
So. Our first attempt at handrolls. Seaweed. Sushi rice (it's easy to cook and doesn't stick together). And whatever you want to fill it with. We used avocado, cucumber, wasabi. (Next time I'll get some sushi tuna from the Victoria market.)
It's just an assembly job. Roll it up, the seaweed works as a natural adhesive. Slice. That's it.
Eat with soy sauce, chili sauce or more wasabi. Or all three.
We also made some laksa. Stock, herbs, a little coconut milk, poached chicken, tofu, bean shoots, spring onions, chinese basil. Delicious. (We used a laksa pack from the asian supermarket for the base spice stock - works fine.)
