Despite my inability to carry out simple preparations (sorry Michelle) we had a delicious dinner of sushi, kimbap, pork dumplings, and fried fish thanks mostly to Michelle and Tian An, with help from Grace and Irene.
First, Tian An fried the fish while Grace, Michelle and I folded dumplings using the dumpling skins Grace bought from the city and the filling (pork, cucumber, cilantro) that Michelle had prepared. Then we moved on to rolling sushi and kimbap, while discussing the differences between the two.
These are the sad kimbap I made:
And here's mine next to Grace's.
Here are our delicious ingredients: the bag of kim (upper right), the soy sauce (lower right), our big-ass freaky Asian knife (middle right) and on the cutting board: daikon, avocado, smoked salmon, and chopped cucumber, next to two beautiful sushi rolls Irene made with her special sushi-making mats.
And an action shot:
Irene has lots of better pictures that I'll try to procure (I thought of using that word because I initially mistyped 'picture' at the beginning of this sentence!).
One last note--the dipping sauce for the dumplings and fish was delicious: soy sauce, sugar, and chopped ginger and cilantro.
Chung mung nam moi!
