Which place do I recommend to visit? It’s difficult to chose only one place . Today it will be my hometown – Zielona Gora. I’m aware that it is not original topic but I’ll do it because I really miss this place J

ZG is a medium size full of greenery city which is located in western Poland in the middle of Lubusz’s forests.

According to the name of the city it is a very green place at spring and summer. City government takes care of city’s plants. It makes ZG a pleasant place for living and attractive for tourists. ZG is also known as the capitol of Polish wine because of a special local climate where the grape can grow. So my hometown has a great wine traditions.

What is more ,one year ago I ‘ve discovered that there are interesting architectural monument in my city. For example there are a lot of buildings decorated in secessions or classic ornaments and reliefs. I could write about ZG’s architecture much more but maybe you should come and see it on your own? It’s worth it!

P.S. I highly recommend visiting Bacchus’s bury city...

Making maki sushi

Do you like Asian food? I really do! Chinese and Japanese cuisine I love them both. So I decided to write on our blog a recipe how to make a maki sushi. Have you ever tried to make sushi at home? Let’s have a try, it’s not as difficult as it seems J

Equipment:

-rolling mat

Ingredients:

-rice (short grains )

-rice vinegar

-soy sauce

-wasabi paste

-pickled ginger

-nori – seaweed

-fish (salmon or surimi sticks )

-cucumber

-avocado

Strokes:

- At first you need to cook the rice (instruction is always on a package) – this is the most difficult part of making sushi

- Secondly you need to turn a rice into a sushi rice. So mix the rice with a rice vinegar. It’s important to do it gently without destroying rice grains. Then let the sushi rice get cool.

- When the sushi rice is cold put the nori on the rolling mat and spared a thin layer of rice on the seaweed. Put a little bit on wasabi paste on the both edges of nori. In the middle of nori put a fish, cucumber and avocado. Then roll it using rolling bamboo mat.

- At last you need to cut long sushi roll into equal 8 parts

Serve it with a soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger.

Bon appetite!
