Food: Sushi Guide
Two months ago, the community members were asked HERE about their favorite food. 🍕Pizza was the clear winner! But nobody said anything about 🍣sushi. Because it's expensive and far too complicated? No, sushi is not that complicated! 🤩 A few years ago, I bought a “sushi box” with all the basic ingredients. Just buy some vegetables and fish and you're good to go. So I dared to try it with two friends and... the result was pretty adventurous. There were no instructions or tips in the box, just ingredients and tools. Although we did almost everything wrong, I didn't let that daunt me. I picked up tips here and there and experimented myself. Anyone can prepare good sushi - with a little patience. With a little practice, perhaps even at the first attempt, you can make much better sushi than what you can buy in the supermarket. This guide will focus on Maki and California rolls (“inside-out rolls”). Main ingredients and tools 1 Salt and sugar to flavor the rice 2 Nori sheets For the sushi rolls 3 Rice vinegar to flavor the rice 4 Sesame Decoration and extra flavor for California rolls 5 Wasabi For seasoning and extra spiciness when eating 6 "Sushi" Rice The main ingredient for sushi 7 Soy sauce For that extra taste when eating 8 Sushi rolling mat Tool for rolling. (left is my favorite, but right is fine) The ingredients often keep for several months. The spiciness of wasabi decreases over time. The packaging of nori sheets often contains silicate packets to prevent the nori from attracting moisture after opening. If you buy “sushi rice” in the supermarket, you are on the safe side. But it should mainly be short-grain rice. Pudding rice is therefore also very suitable. 💡 On the left is pudding rice, on the right sushi rice. You need to cut the nori in half for maki and California rolls. The best way to do this is with clean kitchen scissors. 💡 The nori have a flat and a rough side. The rough side is for the rice. Popular, fresh ingredients I definitely recommend Japanese mayonnaise from Kewpie. It gives maki with avocado or cucumber an extra kick. I also much prefer to use this mayonnaise in California rolls instead of cream cheese. 💡 Cucumbers are a classic for maki! Quarter the cucumber lengthwise. (1) Then remove the inner, softer part (2) and cut the quarter in half again. (3) The diameter of these eighths is ideal for maki! Avocados are perfect for makis and especially in combination with salmon. Salmon is great for makis and California rolls. You can also experiment with other types of fish. Personally, I sometimes find tuna too sour. Cook and flavor the rice If you have a rice cooker, sushi is even easier (and faster!). The rice/water ratio for a rice cooker is 1x rice to 1.5x water. If you have to use a cooking pot, it is best to follow the instructions on the rice pack. You should rinse the rice 2-3 times before cooking Sushi rice is cooked without salt. How much rice you need to cook depends on the number of people and how hungry you are. These are my approximate recommendations per person: Small 100g rice Medium 150g rice Large 200g rice As soon as your rice is cooking, you should take care of the most important part of sushi: The seasoning for the rice. After all, sushi directly translates as “sour rice”. 💡 The seasoning really plays a key role in whether the sushi tastes good or bland. You can experiment with more or less flavor, but the amount is my personal recommendation. 😃 100g Rice 200g Rice 400g Rice Rice vinegar ~14,6g ~29,25g 58,5g (= 4,5 tablespoons) Sugar ~10,5g ~21g 42g (= 3 tablespoons) Salt ~1,3g ~2,6g 5,2g (= 1,5 teaspoons) Simply place the ingredients in a bowl and mix for a few minutes until the salt and sugar have dissolved in the vinegar. Add the liquid to the rice as soon as the rice is done and stir everything very well. The rice must now cool down. Do not try it in the fridge! (This does not work well 💡😅) Spread the rice evenly on wooden or cutting boards. The rice will then cool down relatively quickly. As soon as the rice is no longer warm, it can be used. Let's roll! Maki Lay the mat down so that the cords are pointing upwards. Place the nori almost at the bottom of the mat. Place the rice on the rough side of the nori. Prepare a bowl of water. You can use the water to moisten your hands so that the rice doesn't stick to them as much. Spread the rice thinly and evenly over the nori The upper edge must remain free at least as thick as a finger Now add the filling to about the middle of the rice. (If you fill the maki too full, you won't be able to close it! 😀 ) Tip for fish: Take some wasabi on your finger and spread it on the rice where the fish is lying Tip for vegetables: Add a little mayonnaise Wet your finger and moisten the nori on the top edge where no rice has been spread. Now roll up from the bottom with both hands. Fold in to where the rice ends. (So don't roll it up completely!) Then carefully press the maki tight. Then roll the pressed part over the moistened area. California Rolls In a California roll, the whole nori is covered with rice. Additional rice is added to the top edge. Then turn the nori over. If rice falls off the top edge, you can stick it back on. You can easily get three times the content of a maki in a California roll. Now roll up from the bottom with both hands. Then carefully press the roll tight. Then let it roll in the mat, to get a round shape. You can then roll the roll in sesame or sprinkle it with a teaspoon. Cut it! No matter if Maki or California Roll: Cut the roll in half Lay the two pieces parallel divide the pieces by three and then place them upright That's it! The process may seem like a lot, but it's actually quite simple: Cook the rice Flavor the rice Cut the fresh ingredients roll cut You need the most patience when rolling because of the sticky rice. And with a little practice, you will become more skillful and faster 😀 150g of rice is enough for about 3 maki and one California roll. 🍣 Have fun trying it out. 😎New to the community?

Hello everyone, My name is Lizzie and I am the Community Manager here in the Android Enterprise Customer Community. You are probably all use to having the roundtable introductions in meetings and sharing a fun fact about yourself. If you are like me, you then spend the next 30 seconds trawling through your brain to find an interesting fact to share with a group of people...the good news is you are not on the spot here! 😀 This aside, it's really nice in a community to get know others and so it would be fantastic to hear from you! I'll kick us off: I've been working in community for over 10 year across a few different industries. I'm a big fan of music and I play a couple of instruments: so my 'office' playlist is quite an array of tunes I live on an island (it's quite a big one): so when I go to the Google office, I actually have to take a ferry, which sounds quite exotic! Please share a few facts about yourself, (here are a couple of ideas): What type of industry do you work in? Which country you are based in? Hobbies or interests? Favourite / couldn't live with out piece of tech? Looking forward to speaking with you. Thanks, Lizzie
Seeking Suggestions for Creating an Android App for My Collectible Items Blog
I hope you're all doing well! I run a blog centered around Collectible Items , and I'm considering expanding my reach by creating an Android app. The goal is to make it easier for users to access the latest posts, news, and discussions on collectibles directly from their smartphones. I would love to get suggestions or guidance on how to proceed with creating an Android app for my website. Specifically, I am looking for: Recommendations on the best tools or platforms for building an Android app for a blog-based website. Insights on integrating my WordPress site into the app for seamless content syncing. Best practices for designing a user-friendly app for a community-based blog. Any tips on monetizing the app (ads, in-app purchases, etc.). If anyone has experience with creating Android apps for blogs or similar projects, your input would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to your suggestionsLooking for experiences with Emdoor devices
Hi everyone! Posted this in the off topic part of the community since my question has absolutely nothing to do with work but more with what I like to do outside office hours. I have a motorcycle which I use to explore Europe, preferably besided the paved roads. Therefore I use an old phone with DMD2 app for navigation purposed. Its an old Nokia 7.2. It was slow when I bought it, and it sloooow now😂. Screen isn't easy to read and its just to small. I'm not enjoying using it and its getting annoying. So i'm in the market for a rugged device and have a short list: Samsung Tab Active 3 or 5 Looking for 1000nits brightness, and those don't reach that Pogo connection is a plus over USB-C DMD T865 or DMD T865X Perfect device, but expensive, not sure if I want to spend that kind of money now Random cheap tablet such as the HDM T21, or Samsung tab A9 with a rugged case Not dust proof enough, not bright enough, and USb-C charging isn't optimal In my search for a rugged device i've come across loads of Ali express cheap stuff, but I don't like ordering such a cheap device from Ali without being able to install a custom rom to make sure there isnt any malware attached to my purchase. But i've also come across the brand Emdoor, they sell to companies only (not a problem for me) and reading online I see some positive reviews. I was wandering if anyone here has experience with Emdoor as a OEM but also with their hardware. Thanks! MichelWishing you a fantastic 2025!
Hello everyone, I hope you've all had a restful and enjoyable holiday break. As we step into a new year, I wanted to wish you a very great 2025, both professionally and personally.

The feedback shared in 2024 has already made a difference and had an impact, which has been amazing to see. Plus, we've also got to know quite a few new faces here in the community. 🌟 A massive thank you to all of you. I also wanted to do some special shoutouts to: Moombas, jasonbayton, Alex_Muc, BenMcc, jeremy, jarmo_akkanen, mattdermody, Timmy, Michel, matsm, Rakib. weberda, Yann_ROLAND, vincent, ian Looking forward to lots of exciting things coming, enjoy your year and I look forward to speaking with you more.
