Now stuck with most of the main course (tuna, fluke, salmon sushi...tuna maki, etc.) Shame to waste it...any ideas? Once tried to tempura leftovers, but the result was fairly greasy, and although the rice base heated through and wasn't hard anymore, the fish was way overcooked. Have zapped vegetable sushi rolls with some sucess, but never raw fish-a possible option?

Even though it made me feel like a stupida... And the rice and nori was just a sittin' in the cupboard waiting...right under my dysfunctional nose. And I thought I was better than that-oh well! Totally excellent, simple but elegant solution to the "problem". So obvious, in retrospect, natch... Handrolls! Who woulda thought? You did-thanks! BTW, the handrolls turned out to be delectable;it's amazing what you can do when someone points you in the right direction, even if you were clueless to begin with!

Usually way more food prepared than needed, almost always toss the rice and make fresh the next day to deal with the leftovers. I'm kinda jonesing to make some up to try the $5 Kimlan aged black soy I read about (here, I think) recently. It was killer in the pot sticker dipping sauce I made up earlier.

It cooks just slightly and flaors the broth. Sat Dec 24 15:52:48 -0800 2005 1501759 0 Larry 1 1501806 no no no no no..... Well, maybe dog food?
