Make Great Sushi at Home

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 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 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 often than not are making it for friends and relatives.

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, remember it is going to be sticky. So if you do not want rice all over the place, wash your hands often.

Another great tip is to try and not make the biggest sushi in the world.  Yes the ingredients taste great. But if you try and stuff too many ingredients into one roll it will be a disaster. You are going to 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 don't do it.

Fourth piece of advice, be gentle. Resist the urge to use a lot of force.  When you are making the Sushi all it takes is a gentle rolling. If you apply to much force and pressure with your hands and fingers the roll will turn out funny or an odd shape.

Final tip is using of knives. Obviously when you make sushi, it requires small bits of fish. Well if you don't want the fish to tear, moisten the knife. 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 doesn't have to be hard. It has to be fun and enjoyable, but more importantly delicious.
