Sushi is one of the most delicious foods you can 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 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 great sushi making tips are what you are after, listen up.

First thing is to make sure to have fun.  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 too look great.  So relax and remember there will be a learning curve.

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

Another great tip is to try and not make the biggest sushi in the world.Yes all the ingredients taste wonderful. But if you try and stuff too many 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 making the Sushi all it takes is a gentle rolling. 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 gives you the ability to 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 doesn’t have to be complicated. It has to be fun and enjoyable, but more importantly delicious.
