How to Make Sushi

                                                        How to Make Sushi 

 Hope some of you find this helpful 

Here you go  

1/2 cups medium-grain sushi rice
2 cups water
6 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 large cucumber peeled and seeds removed
2 large carrots peeled
Sesame seeds
4-6 sheets nori

Instructions

• Make the rice by following the directions on the back of the rice package.
• While the rice is cooking, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and 2 teaspoons salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir mixture just until the sugar dissolves; do not boil. Remove from heat and let cool until ready for use.
• When the rice is cooked, pour rice vinegar mixture over rice and fluff using a fork. Allow rice to cool completely by transferring to a baking sheet.
• Slice veggies into thin matchsticks.
• Lay the bamboo mat on a flat surface. Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap allowing a 1-inch overlap from the mat. Place a nori sheet over plastic wrap with rough side of nori facing up.
• With wet hands, grab a handful of rice and place in the center of the nori. Press the rice out towards to edges of the nori sheet, grabbing more rice (and water) as you go. The rice filling should be 1 cm thick and 1/2-inch from the border.
• Sprinkle a bed of sesame seeds over the rice.
• Add one more sheet of plastic wrap over the rice coated with sesame seeds, overlapping 1" on all sides. Carefully place one hand on top and flip the sheet so the plain side of the nori is facing up. Then remove the top layer of plastic wrap.
• Add your desired amount of ingredients to the center of the nori.
• Fold the nori over the ingredients and tuck the edge underneath. Continue to roll using firm pressure and peeling back plastic wrap and mat as you go. Dab cold water on the edge of nori to seal roll. Repeat with remaining nori until you run out of ingredients!
• Slice roll in half and then cut into 6-8 pieces. Serve with soy sauce.

M and M cookie recipe

                                                        M and M cookie recipe


Here  is a M and M cookie recipe here you go

1. Start with Butter, cut into cubes. I prefer to use barely softened butter. I take the butter out of the refrigerator, cut into cubes, place it in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for about 8 seconds.
2. Cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4-5 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl halfway through to ensure even creaming.
3. Add eggs and vanilla and cream for 1 minute longer.
4. Stir in dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Avoid over mixing as it develops gluten in the cookies which creates a tough cookie. We want a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture!
5. Stir in M & M’s, reserving some to strategically place on the top of the cookie dough balls. Roll into balls and place on parchment paper or lined baking sheet.
6. Bake just until the edges begin to be a golden colour. The cookies will set up as they sit so avoid over baking.

Home Chemistry

Hi today i will be showing you  what chemicals are in food and drink here you go 

Name	Chemical	Image	Solid/Liquid/Gas
salt	sodium chloride		solid
Lemon juice	citric acid		liquid
sugar	glucose		solid
vinegar	acetic acid		liquid
Lemonade bubbies	Carbon dioxide		liquid
Onion gas	syn-propanethial-S-oxide.		gas
Baking  soda	Sodium bicarbonate		solid
milk	enzymes, vitamins, phospholipids		liquid
Corn flour	maize starch		soild
banana	potassium		soild

Today I learned that  in baking soda the chemical is sodium bicarbonate

in milk the chemical is enzymes, vitamins, phospholipids in corn flour the chemical is maize starch in a banana the chemical is potassium  in a Onion  the chemical is syn-propanethial-S-oxide.
