Sushi is one of the most delicious foods you can eat anywhere. Most of the time it is enjoyed in fine 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 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 off, have a great time.  Remember, you are not trying to make this for a Sushi restaurant Temecula full of people. You more than likely are making it for relatives or friends.

Remember great tasting food doesn’t have to look beautiful.  So relax and remember there will be 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 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 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.  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 when you make sushi, it requires small bits 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 are going to have a nicer cut of the fish that you can easily put into the sushi roll.

There you go.  Follow these few steps and you will be making great sushi like at my Sushi Restaurant Lake Elsinore.

Making Sushi does not have to be difficult.  It can be fun, enjoyable, and most of all delicious.
