How to Make Sushi at Home

Sushi is one of the best tasting dishes that you eat anywhere. Most of the time it is usually enjoyed in great Japanese restaurants.

But sometimes people want to make great sushi for the home. I should know.  I own a Sushi Restaurant Murrieta and get asked all the time by my customers. They want to always know what the secret to great tasting fish is so you can make it at home?

I always kid around and tell them it is impossible and they will have to always come to my restaurant.  But seriously, if you want some great tips to try and make some great sushi at home listen up.

First off, have a great time.  Remember, you are not trying to make this for a Sushi restaurant Menifee full of people. You more often than not are making it for friends and relatives.

Remember great tasting food doesn’t have too look great.  So relax and remember there will be a learning curve.

For the rice, remember it has to be sticky. So if you prefer not to have sticky rice all over, make sure you wash your hands a lot.

Another great tip is to try and not make the biggest sushi in the world.Yes all the ingredients taste wonderful. But if you try and stuff too many ingredients into one roll it will be a disaster. You are going to have non rolling rolls. You are going to have all the ingredients spilling all over the place because it is overstuffed.

Just don’t do it.

Fourth piece of advice, be gentle.  Resist the temptation to use too much force.  When you are making the Sushi all it takes is a gentle rolling. To much force with your fingers and the rolls end up looking funny or have an odd shape.

Final piece of advice is regarding knives. Obviously when making sushi, you will need small parts of fish.  Well to prevent tearing of the fish make sure you moisten your knife. This helps you cut into it with the knife evenly. You will have nice pieces of fish that you are able to put into the sushi.

There you have it.  Follow these few steps and you will be making great sushi like at my Sushi Restaurant Hemet.

Making Sushi doesn’t have to be hard. It has to be fun and enjoyable, but more importantly delicious.
