SUSHI POPIN' COOKIN!- Baking

 Sushi Popin' cookin!

 

 

For a long time I have wanted to try out Popin' cookin! which is a Japanese candy making set. I know I know it's not baking, but I thought i'd share with you how to make up the 'sushi' and give you a little review on how it tastes and my overall opinion.

I bought this set on amazon for £3.50 here and it took about 3 weeks to come considering it was coming to England from Japan.

Included in the box was:

• 6 powders which make up your rice, salmon, egg, fish eggs and soy sauce (please note that these are all candy flavoured)
• Fondant which is used for seaweed
• A tray to make your ingredients
• a spoon
• a pipette

Since all of the instructions are in Japanese I had to turn to Youtube to find out how to actually make up the sushi! It turns out it is quite straight forward and really quick to make! When opening the packet cut along the dotted line and open the sheet up for guidelines to make your sushi!

Firstly to make your rice you will need to fill the oval shaped tray up with water until it reaches the end of the line of the oval shape. Then add the blue packet and mix until all combined.

 

Then to make the egg and the salmon, fill the two trays which have weird shapes in them up with water until it reaches the line. Then add the yellow packet to one and the pink packet to the other and mix. Make sure you smooth them out to make the mixture meet all the edges and then leave it to set.

 

Now for the coolest bit- the fish eggs! Fill tray A and B up with water until it reaches the line and then add the green packet to tray A and the orange packet to tray B and mix. Use the petite to pick up some of the orange mixture and drop it into tray B.

 

 

Then fill the left over tray with water until it reaches the mark and then add the brown packet to make your soy sauce!

To assemble the sushi, roll out the seaweed to the length suggested for you on the packet and then wrap it around a small ball of rice. Add some fish eggs and wollah you have made your first piece of sushi!

 

Not going to lie, it is hard to roll out the seaweed without it breaking, but its still fun to make!

Next you can be inventive and use up the rest of your ingredients to make more sushi!

 

I made this with my younger sister which kept her entertained whilst I was babysitting her and she was so excited by the fact that everything smelt of bubble-gum. However, the texture was horrific and was not something I'd choose to eat again!

Despite this, it was great fun to make and interesting to see how something that was a powder can turn into edible food.
