Thank you everyone, especially my fellow DCs! I’ll miss you guys, but it will be fun to follow along and watch what awesome new dishes you all create!

Silvia – Grinch sushi? That is too cute! :)

Allie – I’ve never become sick from eating raw fish or raw eggs, but I’m pretty careful about my sources too. That may have some bearing? When I was on chemo, I did avoid sushi and raw eggs at all costs since I was immuno-compromised.

Allison – thank you so much for your recipe! And extra thanks to your grandma :)

Mrs E – aw, hon – no matter what groups I’m a member of, I’ll always be here for you! xoxo

Caitlin – I wonder that you might tempura some white fish and slap it in a roll with avocado and cucumber and such? Mmmm!

March – thanks for that awesome tip!

Dawn – thanks for that tip as well :) I love that I am getting hints from the pros!!

This is my first time visiting your site, and I’m blown away. Your sushi looks amazing, and your photographs – gorgeous! Looking forward to poking around your blog. :)

I have a suggestion for how to get the “fluffy” tempura shrimp like you see at a sushi bar. I worked in a traditional Japanese restaurant in college, years ago. Here’s what they did: Prep and batter the shrimp as you did for this post. Then, the moment the shrimp float to the top of the oil, dip your fingers in the batter bowl and – CAREFULLY! so the oil doesn’t spatter – working quickly, use your fingers to dribble/flick some batter drops onto the shrimp as it fries. These little dribbles of batter form fluffy crispies that attach to the shrimp and make it super crunchy. The more dribbles, the more crunch. YUM.

You are making me hungry, jealous and envious….ALL at once!!!
For some reasons when I try to make sushi I don’t feel like eating them afterwards! Not sure why….it probably has to do with the fact that my rolls came out looking a bit messy and uhm….unattractive, to say the least!

Thanks again for sharing and for posting your wonderful creation!

Honey your sushi totally ROCKS!!!! Dragon roll is one of my all time favs. I loved seeing how you did the tempura shrimp. I hope one day I get the nerve up to make this. My kids would think they’d died and gone to heaven!
