How to make Spider sushi rolls - How to cook prawn tempura and softsel crabs

I love Tempura, who don't?!
I used to steal some vegetable tempura while my mother was frying tempura.
I still could have whole meal even after I ate some tempura...

190ml  flour,  or We buy tempura flour from Japanese shops
(you could keep flour in the fridge to cool it)
180ml cold water, or cold Japanese beer - Asahi Beer, or Kirin Beer, or cold sparkling water
1 egg york
some normal flour for dusting
500ml Vegetable oil
10 x prawn stretch like you are massaging prawn like the image on this blog, prawn needs 3 little cut inner side of prawn
1 x small sweet potato
1 x small courgette
5 x asparagus

You mix egg york with little beer.
And add all the flour to the mixing bowl and add beer.
Please do not mix too well.
It has to be mixed lightly leaving a few lumps

Slice vegetables, and flour the vegetables and prawn before
you dip in the tempura batter.

Ideal temperature to deep fry Vegetable Tempura is 170C, and 180C for fish.
You fry vegetable Tempura first, and then fish tempura.

Tip: To know how the oil is ready to fry, you drop tiny batter in the oil, and it comes right up.

Enjoy your Tempura.

                                                        My sushi students made these
                                                        Soft Shell crab maki sushi rolls,
                                                        They were so delicious!

                                                                    I made this tempura, and it was tasty!

How to make Peanut Tofu

Where I grew up in Japan, Nagasaki we eat lots of raw peanut in Summer for snacks.
People in Tokyo Kanto areas, they have lots of Edamame.
I remember We always ate boiled peanut before dinner in Hot summer days in late July to late September , and my father has it with Beer.

In Summer Grocery shops sell raw peanut in a Shel
We boil them with bit of salt, and have boiled raw peanut.
Taste creamy and nutty Very Addictive.
But We almost eat that every day.

Farmers harvest the peanuts with Shel, they wash them and dry them under the sun for a week or so.
They sell both raw peanuts and dry peanuts in a Shel in the market.

When we have lots of dry peanut, we slightly roast, and removes the peanut skins.
Then we soak the roast peanut in a water over night, and next day we use the blender
to make peanut milk.

This recipe is so delicious, I always ask my mother to cook for me.

Ingredients
Slightly roasted peanut (no salt) 200gram
Water 800ml
Potato starch 55 to 60 Gram
Soak in water over night and blend it in the morning.
You need to separate peanut with the muslin clothe and squeeze the milk out
and you will get peanut milk and peanut residuum (okara in Japanese)

                                                       Peanut Milk Tea, it is very nice :)

Then add 55 - 60 Gram potato starch or Kuzu to the peanut milk, and slowly cook with the raw heat and stir it to combine them, and cook until it will become like sticky

 Then you cool the content in a square plate or shallow plate or bat.
Wait to cool it down, and keep it in the fridge to keep it for an hour.
Serve with Sweet miso.
Miso diluted with Mirin

                                                         Hope you enjoy the recipe!

Salmon Sushi rolls with wasabi mayo

Hi, I went to have Earl Grey tea from Pret a manger the other day, and had poached Salmon sandwich with water cress and mustard mayo.
I was preparing sushi ingredients for Hen party last Saturday, and I got an idea from Pret sandwich.

I made poached salmon and watercress sushi rolls with wasabi mayo with hemp seeds and spring onion, and bit of black paper on it...!

It was Delicious :) Ladies at Hen Party loved them, too, and I've received the nice feedback :)

 Hi Keiko,

On behalf of myself and the other girls who helped to organise the hen I just wanted to say a huge thank you for last weekend. Becks (the bride-to-be) had the most amazing time making the sushi and it was all down to you! .
The quality of the activity was top notch from start to finish and we will definitely be recommending you!
Thanks again.
All the very best,
Samara x

How to cook Sushi Rice

I would like to write How to cook sushi rice

How to cook Sushi Rice,

Sushi rice has to be wash gently with your hand with water, and wash it for 5- 7times until the water runs clear.
Then you could soak it for 30-60 minutes, but if you haven't got time, you could skip this process.
After that, put 300ml rice with 300-330 ml water to the pan with the lid, and cook with the medium high heat and bring to boil, and you simmer it with the second lowest heat for 12-17 minutes.
And the lid has to be always on, and after you simmer with the second lowest heat for 12 - 17 minutes , you turn off the heat and wait 10-20 minutes to set the rice with the lid on.

And you could mix the steamed rice with sushi seasoning.
