My Hand Rolls

….I had hand rolls for dinner, and this doesn’t need a specific recipe. It was refreshing and delicious. It’s one of my family’s favorites and we made it together. I am always feeling so blessed to see everyone eating the food I prepared. I make this dish, hoping this dish will accommodate the main dish nicely. Although the ingredients are simple, you can enjoy the taste by changing the ingredients up to one’s taste. Among the selection of ingredients, the selection of seaweed is important. When you choose a seaweed, it’s not good to get the seaweed that’s too thin. Also it’s better to get some crispy seaweed. Even a small difference can have a big impact on the taste. Talking about the whole family, my hands get busy. All of a sudden, the plate was empty.
