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 want to always know what the secret to great tasting fish is so you can make it at home?

I always joke and tell them they can’t and they need to always come to my Sushi Restaurant. But seriously, if you are looking for great pieces of advice for great sushi you can make at home, pay attention.

First off, have a great time.  Remember, you are not trying to make this for a Sushi restaurant Temecula full of people. You more often than not are making it for friends and relatives.

Remember great tasting food doesn’t have to look beautiful. So relax, remember you are going to go through a learning curve.

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

Another tip is when making the sushi, don’t try to make the biggest 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 are going to have all the ingredients spilling all over the place because it is overstuffed.

Just do not 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. 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 prevent tearing of the fish make sure you moisten your knife. This helps you cut into it with the knife evenly. You will have nice pieces of fish that you are able to put into the sushi.

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 fun, enjoyable, and most of all delicious.
