not all ntucs have all sushi ingredients

i always go to the Cold Storage at Bugis to buy (Keep aside at least $60 for all the ingredients)

1) Sushi bamboo - u need this to roll the sushi

2) Seaweed - Sushi + handroll kind

3) Sushi Vinegar

4) Sushi Rice - get the "Song He" brand, small pack about $11+

5) Crab sticks - get the japanese kind not the house brand kind

6) Mayonese - Important, get those Tube Kind in jap words (plastic tube with no brands printed outside), those are meant for sushi making. Do not get the ang mo brands in a glass bottle kind (eg: Best Foods or Kraft)

7) Tuna in canned form - best is chunks soaked in oil kind.

8) The orange colour fish roe - this is a must. Go to the sushi section to buy.

9) Beancurd skin - if u r lazy to make can buy ready ones. Sushi section oso have

10) japanese cucumber - slim dark green colour ones

11) sweetened egg chunk - oso get from sushi section

12) avocado if u wan to make california handroll

All the above ingredients can make u about 5-6 varieties already.

A) Cucumber + crab sticks + fish roe + rice + seaweed + mayonese = california roll

B) crab sticks mashed + mayonese + fish roe + beancurd skin + rice = crab salad beancurd skin

C) tuna + mayo + beancurd skin + rice = tuna salad beancurd skin

D) rice + fish roe + seaweed = fish roe gunkan sushi

E) egg + rice + seaweed = egg gunkan sushi

F) cucumber + avocado + mayo + fish roe + rice + handroll seaweed = california handroll

u can mix and match the ingredients to your liking. Or u can invent a new sushi yourself.

enjoy~!

tempura is a bit troublesome coz u need the right temperature to fry it nice. Need a deep fryer.

chawanmushi i have not tried. But seems like normal steamed egg custard.

just made tempura 2 nites ago, had prawns, fish, scallop, mushroom, sweet potato and crab sticks.

Used those ready tempura flour from Coldstorage Jap food section. They say oil temp must be like 180 degrees, etc, but never follow. Just agak agak. Of course not as nice looking as the restaurant tempura but still nice to eat.

I used the cold soba dipping sauce for the tempura. Nice oso. Just add a bit of hot water. I skipped the radish for the sauce tho.
