So your kosher sushi party is all set up and ready to go. You have all the supplies to make your own sushi, all the tools for the kosher sushi preparation, all the fresh ingredients, and you managed to make enough friends in college to fill your house and have a fun time. But what about some side dishes? You're not really just going to go out there with only sushi, right? You've got to offer at least one more item to the people, its only fair. Don't sweat it. Here a couple of easy things to do that will stay on the make your own sushi theme while adding a little variety.
The easiest quick additions to make are drinks. One, get some Japanese green tea and two, get some Japanese beer. As far as the beer goes a couple names of quality are Asahi, Kirin, Sapporo and Suntory. Sake is a classic, too. Now on to the slightly more difficult tasks, you know where effort is actually involved, not just a liquor store and a wallet. But still, if you can make your own sushi you can make the Miso Soup, too.
To make Miso Soup you will want to start with a stock called Dashi. To make Dashi simply place into one quart of water one dried konbu (dried sea kelp). Bring the water to a boil and throw away the konbu. add in one cup of katsuo (dried bonito shavings) and boil the water again. Now strain the the water into a separate container and let the water cool to room temperature. Now you have Dashi.
Bring your Dashi to a boil in a pot and add in four tablespoons of miso paste. Stir in the paste with a wooden spoon until it dissolves. Bring the current mix to a boil and then remove from the heat. Add a single cup of tofu cubes, cut to your desired size, and one tablespoon of dried wakame seaweed flakes (finely chopped, of course). Allow the mixture to stand for five minutes before serving.
And there you have it. You have just completed your first kosher sushi party. And it's a real sushi party, its not just sushi. Instead it has a legitement side dish or appetizer, depending on how you wish to serve it. It also features two beverage choices, or more, if you decide to add saki or a variety of beers. Either way, the party is sure to be a success and youll likely keep your friends; for another month, anyway.
