Futo Maki - Thursday, May 8, 2014

Dish of the day: Futo Maki

Where it’s found: Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, D1, near the corner where Tous Les Jours is.  Sushi can be found throughout Ho Chi Minh City – Japanese food is definitely not lacking.

Breaking it down: Seaweed (nori) and sushi rice rolled with various ingredients inside, often vegetarian.  I.e. daikon radish, carrot, cucumber, imitation crab, mushroom and egg.  As with all sushi, it is served with wasabi, soy sauce and ginger.



It was a pool day – our third time going to the swimming pool and tourist village/park at Go Cap Van! Complete with a tasty Banh Mi (baguette sandwich) and sliced guava fruit for a poolside picnic, it ended up being a nice relaxing afternoon! Too bad I had to leave early to get to work for 4pm!


Fresh Japanese futo maki, with the standard wasabi, soy sauce and ginger on the side made for a tasty, quick nice dinner tonight before my evening private class. Futo Maki is larger than typical maki, often requiring you to eat it in more than just 1 bite! Mine had cucumber, crab, mushroom, carrot, egg and daikon radish inside.
