Sushi is one of the most delicious foods you can eat anywhere. Most of the time it is enjoyed in fine 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 always try to find out what the secret is to great sushi that they can make at home?
I always joke and tell them they can’t and they need to always come to my Sushi Restaurant. But seriously, if you want some great tips to try and make some great sushi at home listen up.
First of all have fun. Remember, you are not trying to make this for a Sushi restaurant Temecula full of people. You more than likely are making it for relatives or friends.
Remember you can have great tasting food without it looking great. So relax because you have to 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 do not do it.
Fourth tip, 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 tip is using of knives. Obviously making sushi requires small pieces of fish. Well if you don’t want the fish to tear, moisten the knife. This allows you to cut into the knife evenly. You will have nicer cuts of fish that you can put into the sushi roll.
There you go. Follow these few steps and you will be making great sushi like at my Sushi Restaurant Lake Elsinore.
Making Sushi doesn’t have to be hard. It can be enjoyable, fun, and of course delicious.
