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 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 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 you can have great tasting food without it looking great. So relax because you have to remember there will be a learning curve.

For the rice, remember it has to be sticky.  So if you don’t want sticky rice all over the place, wash your hands frequently.

Another tip is when making the sushi, don’t try to make the biggest 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 will have rolls that don’t roll up.  You will have ingredients spilling out because it is overstuffed.

Just do not do it.

Fourth tip, be gentle.  Resist the temptation to use too much 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 piece of advice is regarding knives.  Obviously making sushi requires small pieces 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 Lake Elsinore.

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