5 Things You Didn’t Know About Sushi Making

1. The rice is a lot easier to make then you think!

Follow this recipe:
3 cups Japanese rice
3 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup rice vinegar
3 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt

Preparation: After washing and soaking Japanese rice, cook and let it steam. Prepare sushi vinegar (sushi-zu) by mixing rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a sauce pan. Put the pan on low heat and heat until the sugar dissolves. Cool the vinegar mixture. Spread the hot steamed rice into a large plate or a large bowl.  Please use a non-metallic bowl to prevent any interaction with rice vinegar. It’s best to use a wooden bowl called sushi-oke. Sprinkle the vinegar mixture over  cook the rice and fold the rice by shamoji (rice spatula) quickly. Be careful not to smash the rice.

To cool and remove the moisture of the rice well, use a fan as you mix sushi rice. This will give sushi rice a shiny look. It’s best to use sushi rice right away.

Makes 4-6 servings.

2. Ingredients are easy to find, and don’t have to be too expensive. Our favorite place is Dirk’s Fish Market

3. The easiest way to make spicy sauce for a spicy roll is combining Sriracha and mayo.

4. To avoid a mess, wrap your bamboo mat in plastic wrap.

5. Most wasabi is horseradish powder tinted with green food coloring.
