Community Center Class: Beyond Cup Noodle; Thursday Evening [11/04].
Even though last week's disasters had involved very little fire, only a mess and the absolutely expected and totally handwaved result of Tisarwat burning all her caramel into an entirely new layer to the bottom of her pot, Ignis was positive there would be no threat to the community center burning down tonight!
Well...positive was a bit strong of a word, with this group, perhaps. But, at this point, if they managed to burn something down with this lesson, that would involve absolutely no actual cooking, then he would perhaps be impressed, although very reluctantly so.
"One of the best ways to get out of the habit of leaning on take-out and instant meals," he started, since that was the main focus of the class, after all, "is to learn how to make yourself quick and easy lunches that won't get boring too quickly and will be satisfying both to make and to consume. Which is why learning something quick and easy to put together can be invaluable for the busy person. One style of food that can offer countless opportunities for variety as well as a way to incorperate filling grains, protein-rich fish, and fresh vegetables to learn how to effectively make sushi rolls.
"Traditionally done with rice, seaweed, fresh raw fish, and vegetables, there are certainly many different ways to play around with the conventions of the style and make it your own. Or use it to help clear away some ingreidents in your fridge before they go to waste. Even if you aren't a fan of the particularly vegetal flavor of seaweed, one can substitute the wrap in unique ways, such as a thinly made egg, lettuce, or perhaps thin cured meats. The possibilities are, quite frankly, limited only to your imagination and, perhaps, the ability to master the technique.
"So that is what we will be working on today. I have already plenty of rice available for you in this rice cooker--a wise investment for anyone short on time that I would highly recommend--as well as a variety ofcompletely moddable ingredients at your disposal. And one does not even need a special mat to properly roll sushi, even; all one would need is a clean towel. Here. Let me show you how."
And with that, the class had truly begun in earnest.

Listen to the Lecture - Beyond Cup Noodle, 11/04.
Yes, he fully expects to be going over the finer details several times.

He is always glad to be proven wrong in these cases, though, of course.
Re: Make Sushi - Beyond Cup Noodle, 11/04.
It fell apart and it went everywhere.
“I might have put too much in that one,” he remarked because that was clearly the issue and not how he managed to send a sushi roll flying across the room.
On the plus side it was the second week in a row with no fire?
