Nisei Ski Club

By Armand Gutierrez, presidente de membresía

Going into July we now have 77 members, and I’m sure there will be more signups in July and August for the Park City trip next February. Will this be a milestone year and we break 90 memberships? Included in the 77 are 12 new members and two former members:

Ron Kaida

Deborah Young

Randy Lee

Kelly Kwong

Roberta & Mike Mentzer

Yvonne & Donald Wong

Mary & Guy Chew

Arlene & Mike Mori

Lynn & Larry Handa

If you haven’t signed up now’s the time to write that check and get us up to our high of 86 members for last season, then it’s just a stepping stone away to 90.

Jason Ku – New NSC Treasurer

The Board approved the use of Zelle as an option for payment of membership dues instead of writing paper checks. 

 Zelle is a free, direct, bank account-to-bank account transfer that works the same as a paper check and is secure and instant.  Most major banks are part of the Zelle network. 

You would initiate payment via your personal bank account online or using your banking app.  If you would like to “opt-in” and use Zelle for your payment, the Nisei account contact information will be provided upon request by emailing treasurer@niseiskiclub.org. 

For now, we will limit this to only the collection of membership payments.  If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out at the email above.

The Nisei Ski Club has participated in a variety of charitable organizations, and over the past few years we have supported the Asian Pacific Film Fest, Achieve Tahoe, and a one-time donation for the victims of the Lahaina fire in Hawaii in 2023 through cash donations. Now NSC has an opportunity to make an impact on people’s lives by participating in the One Warm Coat Drive. The One Warm Coat organization https://www.onewarmcoat.org/ is a national nonprofit organization that embodies a movement of kindness through the donation of coats to people in need.

This charitable opportunity is now available to the membership and for you to join Jeanne Katsuro and I on this charitable endeavor. Jeanne, with the help of Angela Ren (member), Arlene Mori (member), and Linda Minami, already gave me ~50 coats to start the party. So how can you help? Simple. At the Annual Membership Meeting and Luau Picnic on August 10, all you need to bring is one warm coat (or more if you have them). The coats can be for adult or young kids, and should be clean and wearable (no holes or rips). The coats collected at the picnic will be picked up by Jeanne or myself, and stored until October or November when they can then be taken to one of the One Warm Coat designated drop off locations. From there they will be distributed to people in need during the Thanksgiving or Christmas season.

Angela Ren – NSC Member

Sixteen NSC members came out to Milpitas Golfland on Saturday 6/21 to show off their chipping and putting skills in their goal to make birdies, eagles, or the ever-elusive hole in one.

Outside of conquering golf’s most prized achievements, a lot of laughs and fun were had by all in the process while enjoying the perfect weather for a summer day.

Jeanne and Angie played the parts of roaming spectators, cheering section, and event photographers. 

Since all 16 golfers finished all 19 holes in less than the allotted time of 2 hours, we all drove 1 mile down the road and started our planned lunch at Cheung Hing Seafood Restaurant 1 hour earlier than our reservation. 

Conversations between new and old friends continued while everyone feasted on all of the delicious dim sum delights that were ordered.  Finally, as new friends shared contact info. and promises to send pictures that were taken today, we all said our goodbyes but not before discussing seeing each other again at some of the upcoming NSC events this summer.

Thank you for stepping up to the plate to VOLUNTEER!

by Karen Soo, Newsletter Editor

Just a reminder, Nisei Ski Club picnic is taking place on Sunday August 10, 2025.

It would be great if someone step up to the plate to make this Pan Sushi.

Pan Sushi is a popular Hawaii potluck dish. It also makes for an easy DIY sushi meal at home. The layering ingredients (like crab, avocado, and cucumber) are flexible, just make sure you have rice and furikake.

Pan Sushi is a layered sushi dish. It typically consists of rice, crab/tuna/salmon mixed with mayonnaise, furikake, cucumbers, avocado, and tobiko. 

Basically, all of your favorite fun sushi roll fillings but layered instead of rolled. The ingredients are flexible and can be tailored to what you have on hand. Everything is layered and pressed together in a pan, hence the name Pan Sushi.

How To Eat Pan Sushi?

There are two main eating styles:

Scoop and Fold (with nori)
Take a big scoop of the pan sushi and put it on your plate. On the side of your plate are a few sheets of nori (seaweed). Put a spoonful of the pan sushi on the nori, and eat! It’s an extra easy version of DIY hand rolls. This is the more common version and the one I’m posting about today.

Pre-Cut Squares
For this method, you must layer the nori directly in the pan when making the pan sushi (make the nori the bottom and top layer of the pan sushi). Press tightly so that all the layers are packed. Refrigerate the whole pan sushi for an hour. Then cut into squares. Everyone picks up a square and eats it just like that. 

What Can You Put In Pan Sushi?

Pan sushi is super flexible. Everyone does their own version. There is no right or wrong, that is the beauty of it.

Make sure you have the basics (rice, furikake, etc), and then you can mix it up from there:

Rice
Pan sushi is usually made for a group, but I’ve just been cooking for two of us lately. I cook one cup of rice for two people.  After the rice is done cooking, remove from the rice cooker, let it cool for about 15 minutes and season with a mix of sugar, salt, and rice vinegar.

Furikake
You can use any kind of furikake you like. We usually get this Nori Komi Furikake.

Protein
Imitation crab is the most common protein for pan sushi. You can also use canned tuna or salmon, and even kamaboko (fishcake). I usually have salmon in the freezer so I’ll defrost a half pound fillet and bake it in the oven. Let cool and then flake it with a fork. You can also mix protein (I know some people love doing half imitation crab and half real crab).

Whatever protein you chose, flake/shred/dice small and mix it with a spoonful of mayonnaise. Why mayonnaise? Because 1) it tastes good, and 2) this allows you to spread the crab/tuna/salmon more easily over the rice. 

Cucumber
Cut the cucumber into small dice (or thin slices, up to you), and sprinkle with a little salt and mix. Set aside for 15 minutes. The salt will draw out the water and make the cucumber extra crisp.

Avocado
Whether sliced thin or diced, avocado is always welcome in pan sushi.

Tobiko and/or Ikura
Who doesn’t love tobiko and ikura! I like this as the top layer of pan sushi because it is most attractive (and also very delicious). Sometimes people mix tobiko with the crab/tuna/salmon which is also a good idea. If you want to go all out, mix tobiko with the crab/tuna/salmon (which is layered in the middle), and put ikura on the very top.

An extra tasty bite!

Bon Appetite – Julia Child and Karen Soo share the same birthday.

Serves 10

Ingredients

• 3cups cooked sushi rice (slightly cooled). See Note below.
• 6-8 ounces tuna, salmon, or imitation crab
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons furikake
• 1 cucumber, sliced thin or cut into a small dice
• ½ avocado, sliced thin or cut into a small dice (optional)
• 2-3 ounces ikura (optional)
• 1-2 packages nori / roasted seaweed sheets

Instructions

1. Find a pan/container you want to layer in (I made this in a 6-inch round container). Wash and set aside.

2. Mix the tuna, salmon, or imitation crab with the mayonnaise in a bowl. Set aside. 

3. Put the prepared sushi rice on the bottom layer of the pan. Press the rice down with your hand or spatula.

4. Layer the mixed tuna, salmon, or imitation crab on top. Pat down.

5. Sprinkle a tablespoon of furikake on top. Then follow with a layer of cucumber and avocado.

6. Do one more layer of rice, pat down.

7. Then top with a tablespoon of furikake and ikura. 

8. Place the pan sushi in the middle of the table and put a big scoop on your bowl. Make small rolls/bites with sheets of nori. Enjoy! ^_^

Notes

To make sushi rice: Combine 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt in a small dish. Mix until sugar and salt is dissolved. Fold into 3 cups cooked rice.

Shira-ae is a vegetable side dish mixed with mashed Tofu.  It is a little different from regular salad since there is no dressing like oil and vinegar.  Shira-ae is served chilled, so in a sense it’s like salad.  Shira-ae is hard to get in ordinary Japanese restaurants in the US, but this is a kind of food you can make on you own.

People outside Japan might not have eaten Tofu in mashed form.  They are usually cut into small cubes for Miso Soup or bigger square pieces for Nabe and so on.  Here Tofu has no shape and works as more like a “dressing” that combines together with other ingredients rather than a main component of a dish.  Tofu in Shira-ae is seasoned with sesame and soy sauce flavor, and it is a great side dish.

Vegetable used in Shira-ae is usually sliced carrots, spinach, Konnyaku (a firm jelly-like food made from konnyaku potatoes), green beans, and sometimes persimmons.  Vegetables are cooked and seasoned before mixing with Tofu.  This way the dish has a stronger flavor.

Konnyaku is a gelatinous food made from Konnyaku potatoes.  It is usually sold in a block, but also in a pasta or thread like shape (Ito Konnyaku, also called Shirataki).

Konnyaku is often used in Nimono (boiled and seasoned vegetables).  Konnyaku doesn’t have very much taste itself but absorbs flavors from seasonings.  It also provides a nice texture, a little chewy or springy.  It has a distinct smell, and you can boil it to lessen the smell before used in cooking.

Konnyaku is rich in fiber and low in calories. With little calories or fat, Konnyaku can be used as a substitute for starches when preparing low calorie dishes.

Bon Appetite – Julia Child and Karen Soo share the same birthday.

Serves 10

Ingredients

• 2 bunches of spinach
• 1 block tofu
• 2 blocks konnyaku, cut into matchsticks slices 1” long
• 1 carrot, cut into thin slices 1” long
• dash of salt
• 1 c dashi
• 3 tsp sugar
• 3 tsp soy sauce
• 2 Tb toasted sesame seeds

Sauce

• 2 Tb sugar
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp mirin
• 2 tsp soy sauce

Directions

1. Cook spinach. Drain. Rinse with cold water. Squeeze out excess water. Slice 1” long. Refrigerate.

2. Place tofu in clean cloth. Squeeze out liquid. Refrigerate.

3. Put carrots; ½ c dashi and dash of salt in saucepan. Cook until tender. Drain. Remove from saucepan and cool.

4. Put konnyaku, ½ c dashi, sugar and soy sauce in same sauce pan. Adjust to taste. Simmer until liquid is almost gone. Drain. Cool.

5. Grind sesame seeds in Suribachi. Add tofu and grind together.

6. Add sauce; mix well.

7. Add spinach, konnyaku and carrots. Mix well. Chill.
