Homemade Veggie Sushi

My sister Lilly got us a sushi making kit for Christmas and I finally got around to trying it out. It's so great and not hard to do. A little time consuming, yes, but it looks great and is so light, and customizable. I made veggie sushi because I wanted to be sure I had the system down before buying expensive sushi grade fish, but the veggie sushi is actually delicious. Making the rice was supposed to be the hardest part, but it's not that bad. I also found that making inside-out rolls is easier. Can't wait to whip some up for our next dinner party. Thanks, Lil!

Also, I got everything I needed at Whole Foods.

Jinya Ramen

Last week, I went to Jinya Ramen with some friends. My friend Chelsea had recommended it, and she was not wrong. It was delicious! The broth is just so flavorful. I had the Tonkatsu Spicy, which was a pork ramen. It wasn't all that spicy, but was really satisfying and savory. I couldn't eat even half of the noodles, but I ate all the veggies, meat, and broth. They also have great condiments on the table, including a spicy garlic oil and some chili powder. I would definitely go back, and I'm drooling thinking about that broth. It must take them forever to make it.
