Carol: Sushi “gangster rolls”

Sushi

Hi Class,

Carol here.  I am majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies and am enjoying the program at Dominguez Hills.  I chose this program because of the convenience of being able to take the classes in the evenings and weekends with my busy schedule as a working adult like many of us. I’m due to graduate by 2018.

These “gangster rolls,” of the sushi family, I love to consume.  I enjoy them at a local restaurant, Saki House  in Culver City, together with either a glass of wine or a little (not overdoing it) saki.  The menu calls them “gangster rolls” which blends with the ambiance of the restaurant, chic and upbeat in their Japanese style.

A favorite dish I like to consume is Beef Rouladen, a German dish consisting of thin flank steak rolled with pickles, sometimes bacon and onions in the middle, seasoned with Dijon mustard, paprika, onion, and salt and pepper.  There is a thick gravy that comes from cooking it for so long absorbing all the flavors of the spices and herbs.  The meat is incredibly tender because it is thin steak that is rolled up and simmered for about an hour-delicious!  I don’t consume it that often. It was introduced to me by my former in laws and I consume much less meat and fatty foods for health reasons; although there’s certainly nothing wrong with still enjoying it in moderation.

  1. Carol, On occasion, my family and I eat out and our favorite local place in Lakewood is Momma Sushi. Our favorites are the Crunchy roll (shrimp tempura and crab meat inside, tempura crumbs and a sweet sauce outside) and the Lakewood roll (California roll inside, with whitefish baked in mayo outside). We get ours with soy paper wrap as my daughter and I don’t like seaweed that much. Both are so delicious with a little ginger on top. Your post was awesome. Now planning for the next dinner out! 🙂

  2. I never liked sushi. However, my whole family loves it! When my sister visits from UC Merced, the first thing she wants to do is eat sushi! My moms favorite type of sushi is California rolls. I can only eat those. I think I need to give it another try.

  3. I would love to taste your favorite dish because I love pickles. I’m not into sushi unless the meat is cook like the California rolls.
