Nori Maki Sushi (OUR way) -- cooking with mom

[snarkdetriomphe]

lol the guy who commented about swallowing a sushi sausage whole. da you think he meant that homo-erotically? you have the weirdest viewers ever.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@snarkdetriomphe yes, I think lol

And yes, I do.

[snarkdetriomphe]

love the festive ebi

[snarkdetriomphe]

i would like to tell you also that i am now having to do a captcha code for every single freaking comment i make. youtube is a crazy shithole lately. well, since forever. haha

[snarkdetriomphe]

oh and sushi purists can eff off... all the sushi places serve california rolls and boston rolls and all these rolls stuff with mayonnaise and fried chicken etc... seems awfully westernized to me. if its yummy, who cares i say.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@snarkdetriomphe I am amazed at the things they now stuff into sushi. One I have been seeing lately is a 'dragon' ... I will have to investigate. I'm sure it is just spicy as hell, fried up, panko coated chicken

[snarkdetriomphe]

ohhh target... duh i can get all the stuff i need online cheap.

[snarkdetriomphe]

someday im gonna take some extra translating dough and go to an asian store and buy a sushi mat and all kinds of delectable ingredients i cant get up here and start making my own sushi. its expensive and i just love it. and i am allergic to avocado now [wasnt until i turned 40, so i know what i am missing ugh] and most of them are with avocado... so if i customize i can add whatever i want. yums.

[snarkdetriomphe]

do you still have the super secret video of the better recipe? wanna see it.

[snarkdetriomphe]

hey kids, i love sushi. love.

[dankhan69]

Great video, I think the cameraman could swallow a whole sushi sausage in one go ;)

[Overactiveeyeball]

This is awesome! Thanks so much for showing us how to make sushi. I've always bought it at the okazuya but sometimes I like to make them when I want it. Thanks for the video!!!

[niraku321]

you don't use raw fish with sushi?

[flippensweet24]

Can you upload the one you made? :)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@flippensweet24 I will :)

[COOLIKEDATAZIAN]

That look real good. Thanks mama and Beth! I have to get one of those bamboo rolls and musibi makers. We ate some musubi last night and I had to use the spam can lol. No worries about the bashing. Everyone will do food the way they know how or comfortable with. You gave us an easy to do recipe. Yes on MSG!!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@COOLIKEDATAZIAN Target has a nice set for sushi. But the spam musubi ones may be only available here. I'll send you one or send it home with Andre

[fairy20tails]

Yummy!!

[tjbollman1]

Gee that looks wonderful. Great lesson! Glad to see Mom is doing better today.

[KINDERKRAFTS]

Hi again Beth...

So happy that your mom is much better...she sounds good...and if she is cooking then that is a really good sign...

I don't eat seaweed at all because I am allergic to fish and seaweed is quite fishy...

Do you have any ideas what I could use instead of the nori ~~ or would the rice work by itself since it is quite sticky...

Thank you so much for sharing your fun ideas...

Have a fun winter day...

Surie

[pesto12601]

MSG is the evil ingredient.. except naturally occuring as in Kombu...

[CookingAndCrafting]

@CharleneOfficial hehe thanks :) 

[arabbint]

is granny all better now? x

[CookingAndCrafting]

@arabbint Yes, thank you! She is still a little weak but she is out in the living room watching The King of Queens :)

[arabbint]

@CookingAndCrafting Yay go granny! :) xxx

[Msbbopalula]

Granny rocks!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Msbbopalula Thanks :)

[sooouuuuper]

Cooking is all about putting ur own spin on things and to individuals taste Woudnt it be really boring if we all made things exactly the same way all the time new recipes would never be created

hope ur mom is feeling better sending her a cyber soft kitty song maybe if we all sing it to her she will get better super duper extra quick lol lol

[CookingAndCrafting]

@sooouuuuper hehe Thanks :) She is doing pretty well. Still hasn't had anything to eat quite yet. A cracker here or there. But her doctor said that that was okay. Just to make sure to put fluids into her, and she is doing well on that front!

[DeeNeenee]

: )



[CookingAndCrafting]

@DeeNeenee Thanks for watching, Dee :) 

[bananashaveice]

I love, love, love maki sushi! Time to dig out my sushi mat & get to rollin! Thank you Granny for sharing your yummy recipe! Hope she's doing well. Aloha, Vina

[CookingAndCrafting]

@bananashaveice Thanks :) She is doing fairly good! 

[cutiepie101ism]

This is actually kimbap isn't it it's not sushi

[CookingAndCrafting]

@cutiepie101ism what is kimbap?

[CookingAndCrafting]

@cutiepie101ism oh no! I just googled kimbap and it is not kimbap at all. They season the rice with a tiny bit of sesame oil and salt. This is entire different. Not Korean but Japanese.

[sunnylee1123]

Cooking and crafting, im japanese and i tried this recipe and this turned out quite amazing! I Would add little less water... but im impressed~

[CookingAndCrafting]

@sunnylee1123 Thank you so much!

[croutoncrackerjacks]

I REALLY want to get my grub on with these!! Can I have the whole plate, please? Thanks!! ;-) And I wanna see the other recipe you did. How does the taste differ from the one mom made? Either way, they both sound delish!! Now Ima hafta go to the sushi bar on my day off, dammit!!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@croutoncrackerjacks The one I made has a little more sauce and sugar to make it sweeter. I also cook the tuna with sugar and shoyu and make it a lot drier. It is more like the ones we can get in the Japanese delicatessans here

[baxtersmomma]

I can't wait to try this! Looks delicious!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@baxtersmomma Thanks!

[ArgentineShamrock]

I'm not a sushi fan but son is. I'll copy this recipe for him and wait for the other one that you like better. Your Mom needs a "Cooking with Granny" channel, she is a natural. Hope she feels better quickly.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@ArgentineShamrock haha If I did, I'd have to run and maintain it anyway..she doesn't know the first thing about computers. Refuses to learn!

[PiercingIceTiger]

SUSHI!!!!!!!!!!!! Gota love this xD

[CookingAndCrafting]

@PiercingIceTiger Thanks! 

[Irvienne]

Love when your mom cooks peace and blessings

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Irvienne Thank you so much :)

[anmoose]

A sushi that doesn't have a fish in it that's still trying to get off the hook? I could actually eat that. I do love fresh salmon on the rare side, but it's the only fish I eat like that, and sushi in general turns me off. Are the seaweed wraps actually edible, or do they just hold it all together?

[CookingAndCrafting]

@anmoose It is absolutely edible!

[flippensweet24]

i wanna see the one you made too please!! :)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@flippensweet24 Okay, will load that :) Thanks

[ladygladys]

I have never eaten sushi but may want to try it if I find a place that makes it like that since there is no raw fish in it. I lurve the Japanese place by mom's in NYC and I always order their Chicken Teriyaki which is to die for. Everytime we go I like to see the type of sushi people order at the bar. My mom eats sushi but I am wary of the whole raw fish thing plus I am not a big fish eater anyway.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@ladygladys yeah find ones that don't have fish and you'll be safe :)

[AshleyFD26]

"we get happy when we eat it" I laughed so hard! mmmm sushi

I'm glad she is feeling better. Mommies ROCK!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@AshleyFD26 ha! She's a nut :) You're welcome!

[debbiez112]

Love this. I bet that tasted good. I would have liked the cucumber one. I am not sure about the seaweed paper. I have never tried it.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@debbiez112 yeah the cucumber is just so refreshing!

[Jeffrich308]

That looks great! I haven't been very successful in the past but ready to try again! LOL Thanks!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Jeffrich308 oh yes, definitely try again!

[Tocowbell]

So sweet.. My prayer came true

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Tocowbell aw thanks :)

[msscrz]

Glad to see, she's doing much better !!!! I wish I still had my mom...... Love ya !!!!!! Nori Maki Sushi looks good. :O)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@msscrz Thank you :) She is doing pretty good... sleeping most of the day downstairs here with us

[maybeeme220]

I've always wanted to try sushi but am not sure of the taste, can you tell me how the seaweed paper taste? Is it salty? Or maybe it doesn't have a taste it's just to roll rice and tuna together. I would really like to try and make this sushi can you buy seaweed papers at the walmart? Thank you so much for all you share.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@maybeeme220 To me, I can't taste the seaweed paper. It adds to the flavor though, I'm sure. I don't think it tastes very salty. I buy my papers at Walmart in the Asian aisle!

[IsleMama]

Thank you for sharing. Glad to see that your mom is okay. =)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@IsleMama Thanks :) This was filmed on New Year's Eve but she is doing much better!

[winane]

Yumsssssss so onolicious!! I sometimes make it with egg, cucumber, carrots and sometimes tsukemono. Hmmmm maybe that will be dinner tonight. TY Beth.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@winane mmmm that sounds awesome! 

[kaibear123]

Tuna sushi is the only kind i can eat without puking Lool

[CookingAndCrafting]

@kaibear123 yeah ..I'm not very tolerant of raw fish..the texture throws me off

[Gary20O]

Mmmmm

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Gary20O :)

[dreamer72fem]

YUMMY!!!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@dreamer72fem Thanks :) 

[MissPonderosa]

MORE 'GRANNY & ME' EPISODES! Haha you should title them and make a series XP ...I had no idea that sticky rice was sticky because of the sugar though! Very interesting :) My favourite type of sushi is california roll... mmm seafood extender with avocado..! It looked so pro when your mum made the actual sushi ... then at 6:45 with all of them made & you cutting perfect slithers looked perfect! You must be really good sushi chefs :D lol on the 'grub on' explanation :P you so funny!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@MissPonderosa All the recipes that mom has made (I think I got them all) are in a playlist :)

[WillowBranchDesigns]

Santa brought me a rice cooker for Christmas so I'm good to go. I loved this & would love to see more. I may head to the Asian market tomorrow to stock on the basic so I can play along. It looks good & quite inexpensive as well.

Pam

[CookingAndCrafting]

@WillowBranchDesigns nice! :) I will load my other sushi recipe as well. I will also do another for other forms of rice we grew up with :)

[imperceptibleme]

Looks yummy. I don't think I can find the roasted sea weed though. haha. Hugs!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@imperceptibleme Try the Asian aisle. It will have some form of 'maki' in it and look like a big old rectangle of black.

[jcrefasi1]

I'd like to see "sushi beth's way" too! Also had to laugh at the related vids. They were pimping sushi machines that automate the process for only one million eight hundred yen!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@jcrefasi1 I wonder how much that equates to? lol

[MrsRedAng]

So pretty so simple! I just bought a kit that was new at our grocery store made it last week, I ate it all! NUM! I did avocado & cream cheese. I had no salmon, I love that! Thanks girls for the demo!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@MrsRedAng amazing how simple, right?

[U2416510]

Absolutely love this! This confirmed that I am making sushi kinda the right way... I use imitation crab (bad girl) and cucumber strips. I bought the sushi liquid seasoning in a bottle - I now need to try it your mom's way. I also am in favor of you showing the other sushi recipe video! Thanks!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@U2416510 That is good to hear! I didn't know they made it ready made in a bottle. I may have to go look for when I want some but am feeling lazy haha

[RbcXx]

a little tip ..

when you make the end of the nori a little bit wet it wil stick to the roll !

[CookingAndCrafting]

@RbcXx yes, as you will see in the other recipe coming up, but these stuck fine :)

[DesignerHala]

I make my sushi the same way! I usually put a very thin slice of salmon in the middle with some cream cheese over the rice with a strip of cucumber. I'd also like to see your second sushi video!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@DesignerHala yey! That sounds like something Scott would like minus the cucumber ;)

[IWalk4tnt]

Yum!



[CookingAndCrafting]

@IWalk4tnt :)

[Carballoca]

This is a sushi I might try and eat just can`t handle the thought of munchin down on raw fish...lol

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Carballoca yeah no... I don't do raw fish either. I can't take the texture. I'll eat raw crab and raw salmon (since that is more firm) but the sashimi and poke are just too texturally challenging for me lol

[3amGraham]

I used to love sushi, then I made it at home onetime but didn't have a knife sharp enough to cut it nicely, so I tried eating it like a buritio... it was the most perverted food experience of my life. I can't even make eyecontact with sushi anymore without getting uncomfortable.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@3amGraham oh yeah, that sounds mighty uncomfy ;)

[keritako]

Nicely done, yummy sushi!!

I'd like to see your second sushi recipe vid too, please upload! :)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@keritako okie doke, second vote :)

[MrGangstaLove]

i'd cut it into 4 pieces #notashamedofgettinghisgrubon

[CookingAndCrafting]

@MrGangstaLove LOL! Neither am I. I cut it in half yesterday. My brother took some out to his friends and did not cut it. They just gnawed on the entire roll lol #menarebeasts

[popparoc46]

Part 2 - It is good to know that your mom is feeling better. I had a feeling you would be taking her to see a doctor.  It was a good thing to do!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@popparoc46 I knew I would be taking her too. When she didn't even come down, I knew it was bad. Really bad.

[popparoc46]

I would watch if you loaded the second video! It was very interesting. For 8 pieces of plain nori sushi (no fish - just vegs) we pay $6.85. It would be nice to be able to make my own. I am going to the Asian store again to see if they have the little bag of dried shrimp. It looked like a very nice touch! I need to take notes (in my moleskine!) for what to look for in Hong Kong.

- roc

[CookingAndCrafting]

@popparoc46 okay, one vote for the other vid it is. Here, if you want one roll of futomaki (stuffed with gourd, carrot, tuna and egg) you would pay $3.85. Seriously. ONE ROLL.

[Fitange]

Wonderful! Thanks Beth and granny :-) loooove sushi

[jcrefasi1]

Granny made the "roll" look so easy to do. I tried it once and it looked like a stoned hippie had tried to roll it

Thanks for sharing

[GothyPingu]

Yummy its funny you just put this up i was watching a japanese cooking show earlier i must admit none of the recipes were as inviting to make as yours and your mums :)

[XxAnnA249xX]

You have quite a few recipes which are japanese related and seem to know how to correctly pronounce things. Which makes me wonder, are you guys Japanese in anyway?

[CookingAndCrafting]

@XxAnnA249xX Nope, we are not Japanese. However, the best part of Hawaii is that we are the midway point between the continental U.S. and Asia. So we have a very high population of Asians to include Japanese, Filipino, Chinese, Korean, Thai, etc. We get to experience all their lovely dishes. I grew up being lucky enough to experience all these awesome things! So it is pretty much a way of life. When people ask for "Hawaiian" food, that encompases all of these different countries!

[Valarieisabunneh]

I love sushi! I'll defiantly have to make this ^___^

[LuxeHolly]

oooooh thats not a teaspoon ooohhhhhhh yea............lol must have been salty >.<
