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 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 want to always know what the secret to great tasting fish is so you can make it 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 Menifee full of people. You more than likely are making it for relatives or friends.

Remember great tasting food doesn’t have too look great.  So relax and remember there will be a learning curve.

For the rice, it is a must that it is sticky. So if you prefer not to have sticky rice all over, make sure you wash your hands a lot.

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 are going to have non rolling rolls. You are going to have all the ingredients spilling all over the place because it is overstuffed.

Just do not do it.

Fourth tip, 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 for when you use knives. Obviously when you make sushi, it requires small bits 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 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 Hemet.

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