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 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 to look beautiful. So relax and remember there will be a learning curve.

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

Another great piece of advice is don’t try to make the world’s largest sushi. Yes everything tastes 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’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 piece of advice is regarding knives. Obviously when making sushi, you will need small parts 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 will have nicer cuts of fish that you can 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 Lake Elsinore.

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