Hello Everyone, I was at a sushi restaurant the other day, and I pointed at the Sashimi (which is just raw fish, nothing else) and the waiter said that it was $3 per tiny slice for the style of sushi. Both amazed and disappointed, I made it my mission to find some reasonably priced, delicious sashimi that I could make at my apartment. So, about a week ago, I went to the Buford Highway Farmer's Market just outside of Atlanta and found a delicious steak of sushi-grade Ahi Tuna for only $4.00! This large ahi tuna steak costs around $25 if you buy it at restaurants or upscale supermarkets around Atlanta... So I was finally happy to make some delicious, are reasonable priced sushi! INGREDIENTS:1 Sushi-grade Ahi Tuna Steak1 Cucumber (medium sized, doesn't need to be too big)A small amount of fresh ginger rootSeveral sheets of roasted seaweed (with nothing on it, NO CORN SYRUP, except maybe a little salt at the most!)1 Lemon (or some lemon juice)A little horseradish root (or shaved horseradish)The SMALLEST amount of soy sauce (if you must have it) First of all, I took the ahi tuna and sliced it into thin rectangles that are about 0.5 inches by 1.5 inches. Then I took my one cucumber and peeled off the skin. Then, I sliced the cucumber in slices, each about the size of a short golf tee. Next, I took the ginger and sliced it into slices that looked like toothpicks, except only an inch long in length. Finally, I took the seaweed and cut it (using normal scissors) into small belts about 2.5 inches in length and 0.5 inches in width. Now that you have all of your ingredients chopped up, you take a piece of ahi tuna and place one piece of cucumber and one piece of ginger across the top of the raw fish. Then, you take the "roasted seaweed belts" and wrap them around the fish, cucumber, and ginger and seal the belt with a drop or two of lemon. Repeat this process like 50 times and you will have all the sushi you can eat! Garnish with a little freshly shaved horseradish root and the smallest amount of soy sauce if you must... Anyways, I have acknowledged that I am an amateur chef, and thanks to this diet, my culinary knowledge and skill is exponentially growing... This is a fun, delicious, easy, and most importantly, REASONABLY PRICED way to make sashimi. This meal, if you buy your ingredients from a farmer's market, can cost around $8 and serves multiple people with satisfaction. You can use salmon or another piece of fish if you would like, but my favorite is the ahi tuna. I am a big sushi lover, and this quells my cravings for typical sushi, so find your nearest large farmer's market and buy a sushi-grade piece of fish for a reasonable price and enjoy. P.S. I can post an image of this dish if someone informs of my how to use this "insert image" button on the forum... - Zensenji (believe it or not, I'm not Asian, hahahah...)
