Cooking with Alina!

So, it's the end of the month, and you have a really bad hankering for some sushi, but your cupboard is bare. What are you to do?!? Well, never fear! Good ol' Allie is here with her stunning culinary creations to tantalize your tastebuds! They are 100% guaranteed to be wierder than a chupaqueso! Today's feature is:

Sushi Sandwich

2 pieces of bread or rice cakes
1 can of tuna (in water works best)
cucumber
nori (dried seaweed), or lettuce if you prefer
mayo
wasabe paste

I first mixed the tuna and mayo together as though I were making your everyday tuna salad. Then, I added the soy sauce and wasabe paste. Feel free to season to taste, as not everyone enjoys the sensation of their sinuses melting. Personally, I added just enough to turn the fish mixture a slight shade of green.*

Once the paste was mixed, I spread it on one of the peices of bread, slightly toasted so it wouldn't droop. On the other, I placed the lettuce and sliced cucumber, then put a band of sliced nori around the bread, like an oversized nigiri role.

Conclusion: It's sure something. The canned taste really takes away any illusions that it's actual sushi, but the soy & wasabi sauce is pretty fan-burning-tastic! Next time, I might try it with a little rice, as the bread really jarred with the flavor.

* Warning! Chef takes no responsibility for melted sinuses. That's why it says season to taste!!!
