Onion Bagel

5 3/4 cups flour
3 quarts water
1 tablespoon sugar
Cornmeal to sprinkle baking sheet
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water
2 cups warm water
2 packages active dry yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup instant toasted onion
3 teaspoons salt
Bagel Platter
Mix warm water, yeast, 3 tablespoons sugar and instant toasted onion. Let stand 5 minutes, stir in salt.
Gradually mix in 4 cups of flour, beat at medium speed for 5 minutes. With spoon add 1 1/4 cups more flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out on a floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, (about 15 minutes), adding more flour as needed. Dough will be firmer than for most yeast breads. Place in a greased bowl, cover, let rise until almost doubled (about 40 minutes). Knead dough lightly and divide into 12 equal pieces. To shape, knead each piece, forming it into a smooth ball. Holding ball with both hands, poke your thumbs through the center. With one thumb in hole, work around perimeter, shaping bagel like a doughnut 3 to 3 1/2 inches across. Place shaped bagels on lightly floured board, cover lightly and let stand in a warm place for 20 minutes. Heat oven to 400 degrees Bring the 3 quarts of water and 1 tablespoon sugar to boiling in large kettle. Adjust heat to keep it boiling gently. Lightly grease baking sheet and sprinkle with cornmeal. Gently lift one bagel at a time and drop into water, boil about 4 at a time, turning often, for 5 minutes. Lift out with slotted spatula, drain briefly on a towel and place on baking sheet. Brush with glaze made with 1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water. Bake 35 - 40 minutes, or until well browned and crusty. Cool on rack

Vegetarian Sushi 101

I was at the asian market the other day. The man that ran the shop sad, sushi is easy to make and less expensive if you hand make it, and guess what? it is!. Im going to show you the types of vegetetarian sushi. TO learn to make sushi click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPMaid87Es0

1. Mushroom Sushi: Take soba noodle, egg omlet, Spring onion, shitake mushroom and pickles on Nori paper thent! Roll very Tight

2. Cucumber, cream cheese and avocado: This vegetarian sushi has the perfect combination of smooth and crunchy textures. Keep in mind that it is higher fat than some of the other vegetarian options because the cream cheese and avocado are both fat-laden.
3. Egg sushi: Japanese scrambled eggs, called Oboro, are often used in vegetarian sushi. For those vegetarians who eat eggs, it is not only delicious, but a good source of protein.
4. Roasted eggplant and zucchini: For a hearty vegetarian sushi, try roasted or grilled eggplant and zucchini. The bold flavors are satisfying, but the resulting sushi is very low fat and healthy.
5. Tofu and Green Onions: This protein-packed sushi is low fat and delicious. You can try using fresh or dried tofu for variations on this classic.
