Making Sushi at Home Like a Pro

Sushi is one of the most delicious foods you can eat anywhere. Most of the time it is usually enjoyed in great 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 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 are looking for great pieces of advice for great sushi you can make at home, pay attention.

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, remember you are going to go through a learning curve.

For the rice, it is a must that it is sticky.  So if you don’t want sticky rice all over the place, wash your hands frequently.

Another great piece of advice is don’t try to make the world’s largest sushi.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’ll have the ingredients all over the place spilling because it will be overstuffed.

Just don’t do it.

Fourth piece of advice, be gentle. Resist the urge to use a lot of force. When you make Sushi, all you have to do is gently roll. If you apply to much force and pressure with your hands and fingers the roll will turn out funny or 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 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 have it.  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 complicated. It can be enjoyable, fun, and of course delicious.
