Sushi is a wonderful tasting Japanese meal that everybody has heard of, and of course tasted as well.  And if you are lucky, you have tasted at wonderful Sushi restaurant Temecula.

It is a great traditional dish that is usually made of rice, seaweed, and of course raw fish.

Now if you don’t like fish in the first place, of course you will not like sushi.But if the taste of seafood is something you love, then of course you will enjoy sushi.

Of course, most sushi is enjoyed in fine restaurants such as the one you can find at Sushi restaurant Lake Elsinore.You can taste and enjoy them in a Japanese style fast food restaurant.

Or you can enjoy them in more formal dining environments, like the one found at Sushi Restaurant Menifee.

Or best of all, you can enjoy them in an all you can eat style.

But if you are in a creative mood, maybe you might try cooking it up yourself at home.

Well here is a brief rundown of the 3 types of sushi you can make.

First type is the Maki sushi.  It is the usual that you are used to that consists of fish/seafood with rice that is then wrapped in nori or seaweed.Most well known is the California roll of course

Now there are 2 types of sushi within the Maki sushi.There is the Futomaki also known as the “fat maki” because you make it with 2 or more fillings of fish or seafood

Second type is the Hosomaki or the “thin maki” called that because it has only one filling of fish or seafood.  But it could also be a single vegetable as well.

The second type of sushi is called the Nigiri sushi.  This is a popular sushi that has a thin slice of raw fish, seafood, or other types of toppings that is placed on top of a rectangular chunk of rice.  There is nothing
that wraps it up such as seaweed, like the Maki sushi.

Finally you have the Uramaki, which is also known by the name of inside out sushi.It is known as the inside out because it is exactly that, a backwards version of the Maki because the rice is on the outside of the nori rather than the inside.Also what you will find inside will be fish or a seafood.

There you go.  3 wonderful types of sushi you can try your hand at making at home.

Of course, the best way to make this is to first try some at a local sushi restaurant so you can sample all 3 different styles and see how it is made and what the ingredients are.

So happy eating.
