How to cook sushi?

Answer 1

actually since sushi is technically just the rice, you actually do have to cook sushi, sashimi is what the raw fish is. It is a certain type of Japaneese long grain rice, that is mixed with vinegar and sugar when it is done cooking

Answer 2

As already written above, you don;t actually cook the fish, only the rice.However, be sure to not just use any fish. You need to buy special sushi grade fish which is usually more expensive than normal. It is the same type of fish (tuna, salmon, etc), but of a higher quality, since you will be eating it raw and don't want to become infected with any diseases or parasites.

Answer 3

You dont cook sushi! HAHA: do you mean ROLL sushi?
Type rolling sushi into a search engine! I bet that you will find how to do so!

Answer 4

Sushi Rice

2 cups Japanese short grain rice
2 cups water
¼ cup rice vinegar (non seasoned)
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp. salt

Rinse well until water runs clear. Combine rinsed rise and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to low, simmer for 15-20 minutes. Turn off heat. Let stand another 10 minutes. In a small mixing bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar and salt. (If you prefer you can put this in a small saucepan over low heat and heat it until sugar dissolves, then let cool.) In a large bowl, put hot cooked rice, Sprinkle with vinegar mixture. Stir to season rice. Cover sushi rice with a damp cloth.

Take a piece of half sheet of nori (sushi seaweed), place on a bamboo rolling mat. Wet your hands with water and spread out the rice in a thin layer about 1/3 to 1/2 inch, leaving about 3/4 inch edge of the nori away from you uncoated with rice. Place your toppings, about 1.5 inches away from the edge closest to you and roll. This roll has enough room for one line of ingredients. Make roll. Take a very sharp knife and cut roll in half. Wipe blade with a damp cloth and cut again each half into thirds to make six pieces.

To make a large roll, use a whole sheet and follow the instructions above but using more filling ingredients. Cut this roll into 8 pieces.

If you are going to use raw tuna make sure to ask for sashimi or sushi grade tuna and keep it refridgerated until use other wise you could get sick.
