Sushi is one of the most delicious foods you can eat anywhere. Most of the time it is enjoyed in fine Japanese restaurants.
But often times you will have people that want great tasting sushi at 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 Temecula full of people. You more than likely are making it for relatives or friends.
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 is going to be sticky. So if you don’t want sticky rice all over the place, wash your hands frequently.
Another great tip is to try and not make the biggest sushi in the world. Yes the ingredients taste great. But when you try and put too much ingredients into one roll it will be a disaster. You will have rolls that don’t roll up. You are going to have all the ingredients spilling all over the place because it is overstuffed.
Just do not do it.
Fourth piece of advice, be gentle. Resist the temptation to use too much force. When you are actually making the Sushi, all you need to do is gently roll. 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 to stop the fish from tearing, make sure the knife is moistened. This gives you the ability to cut into it with the knife evenly. You will have nicer cuts of fish that you can put into the sushi roll.
There you have it. Follow these few steps and you will be making great sushi like at my Sushi Restaurant Lake Elsinore.
Making Sushi does not have to be difficult. It has to be fun and enjoyable, but more importantly delicious.
