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 a person wants to make sushi at home.  I should know.  I own a Sushi Restaurant Murrieta and get asked all the time by my customers.  They always want to know what is the secret to making great tasting sushi 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 of all have fun.  Remember, you are not trying to make this for a Sushi restaurant Menifee 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 do not want rice all over the place, wash your hands often.

Another tip is when making the sushi, don’t try to make the biggest in the world. Yes everything tastes 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’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 are actually making the Sushi, all you need 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 tip is using of knives. Obviously when making sushi, you will need small parts of fish. Well to stop the fish from tearing, make sure the knife is moistened. This helps you cut into it with 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 Hemet.

Making Sushi doesn’t have to be hard.  It can be fun, enjoyable, and most of all delicious.
