My flatmate bought me stuff for making sushi for my birthday. I bloody love sushi. I have been practicing making maki rolls using a rolling mat two nights in a row.
Once I've mastered making veggie ones with cucumber and avocado and the like, I'm going to start making raw fish ones. Yum.

Not so keen on sushi, have tried but something about chilled rice kinda puts me off

Good trick of making sushi is making sure your hands are really cold learned that from a tartan asian extreme film, think it was old boy

I'm off to Yatai tonight for some lovely sushi for mine and my lass's first anniversary. Good times!

For recipes - try smoked mackeral with water melon - sounds minging, but tastes awesome.

Having a dish with rice wine vinegar and water nearby is essential - dip hands in before handling the rice or it's too sticky. And make sure you've got a sharp knife and dip that in the water/vinegar before using it too.

I had Kraft Cheesey Pasta with bread last night for dinner. It was yummy.

Normally I would make something a bit more substantial for dinner, but at 11pm last night I realised I had forgotten to have dinner, and I didn't really fancy spending half an hour preparing something.

My favourite recipe: it's yummy and quite easy. Feeds 3 easily, 4 at a push and you can make it for under a tenner, depening on what you've got in the cupboards already.

Chicken & White Wine Risotto

Ingredients
350 g Italian risotto rice
2 Onions
500g Chicken breast
100g Peas
40g parmesan
1 red pepper
1 1/2 pints chicken stock
1 glass White wine
25g Butter
3 tablespoons Olive oil
½ teaspoon Saffron
2 cloves of Garlic

Prep:
Slice the chicken thinly
chop the onion, the garlic and the pepper
Wash the risotto rice in cold water

Method

Fry the chicken in the olive oil until it's cooked (5 mins)
Take the chicken out of the pan and put it aside

Add more olive oil and put in the onions, garlic and red pepper. Fry for 10 minutes to soften the onions and peppers.

When the ingredients are softened, add the cooked chicken and fry for a further two minutes.

Add the risotto rice and fry for another two minutes stirring constantly. make sure the rice is coated with the olive oil. Add the saffron.

Add the wine and stir. When the wine has been absorbed by the rice add a ladleful of the chicken stock.

Each time the stock is absorbed, add another ladleful. When all the stock has been added and absorbed, the rice should be moist and soft but not runny. This will take about 15 minutes

Add the peas, the butter and the parmesan cheese. Cook for 2 minutes.

Serve.

DELICIOUS
