Cooking Nice

Sushi is one of the best tasting dishes that you 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 kid around and tell them it is impossible and they will have to always come to my restaurant. But seriously, if great sushi making tips are what you are after, listen up.

First thing is to make sure to have fun.  Remember, you are not trying to make this for a Sushi restaurant Temecula full of people. You most likely are just making it for 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 has 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 everything tastes great.  But when you try and put too much ingredients into one roll it will be a disaster. You are going to have rolls that don’t roll up.  You will have ingredients spilling out 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 make Sushi, all you have to do is gently roll.  Too much pressure with your fingertips or hand and the rolls will come out looking funny or in odd shapes.

Final tip is using of knives.  Obviously making sushi requires small pieces of fish.  Well to prevent tearing of the fish make sure you moisten your knife. This gives you the ability to cut into it with the knife evenly. You are going to have a nicer cut of the fish that you can easily 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 can be enjoyable, fun, and of course delicious.
