I've seen quite a few sushi rolling picture instructions but still don't get it. It's hard to see how it's

Question

done exactly. as you line the rice-covered nori sheet with the edge of the bamboo edge, how do you roll the bamboo mat forward, do you roll it like you're rolling a paper with your hand? I'm confused because the ingredients are placed in the center of the rice. Does this nori sheet edge go over the ingredients in the center on the first roll?

Answer 1

either way, the best way to learn is go to a sushi bar and watch

Answer 2

Yes, the nori can cover the ingedients. Many sushi chefs will roll it so that the rice only surrounds the filling once, cutting off excess rice, but letting the nori overlap to keep the roll shut. The filling is not place in the center of the "square" of rice, but fairly close to the initial rolling edge, so that when the first edge of rice touches the filing, THEN more rice.

You can have the nori inside or outside the rice; depends upon what you're making.

To cut the stickiness of the rice, use wet hands and a wet bamboo spatual to spread. Makes all the difference.

HTH. Kinda hard to describe w/ words! :-)

Answer 3

do not hassle slightly. save ingesting sushi whenever you elect! jap females on no account decrease out sushi whilst they're pregnant (and that they are so smart!!). they only save away from the intense mercury fish (king mackerel, clean tuna, swordfish, shark, etc). Wild salmon (even uncooked) is particularly the superb selection in being pregnant using Omega 3 fatty acids. different stable seafood/sushi selections are mahi mahi, halibut, tilapia, catfish, cod, scallops, lobster, shrimp and crab, and canned easy tuna (under 12 oz..each week). the only threat in ingesting uncooked fish is eating some micro organism that could desire to grant you a stomachache, and it particularly is not risky despite in case you're pregnant or not! **i elect to propose reading being pregnant for Dummies. it is so low-key and exciting to examine. Plus, they don't get all freaked out approximately being pregnant like it extremely is a ailment!
