Sushi is one of the best tasting dishes that you 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 always want to know what is the secret to making great tasting sushi 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 Menifee full of people. You most likely are just making it for friends.

Remember great tasting food doesn’t have to look beautiful.  So relax and remember there will be 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 tip is when making the sushi, don’t try to make the biggest 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’ll have the ingredients all over the place spilling because it will be overstuffed.

Just do not do it.

Fourth tip, be gentle. Resist the urge to use a lot of force.  When you are making the Sushi all it takes is a gentle rolling. To much force with your fingers and the rolls end up looking funny or have an odd shape.

Final piece of advice is regarding 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 complicated.  It can be fun, enjoyable, and most of all delicious.
