Sushi is quite expensive when you buy it from stores. Can someone tell me how you can make sushi at home?thanx

Answer 1

Sushi making at home is fun - I love to do all different kinds of rolls and stuff! It can be a little tricky at first, and make sure you have all the things you'll need - like nori (seaweed) sheets, wasabi paste or powder, sesame seeds (I get white and black), etc. Making the rice correctly is really important, too (I got a rice steamer just for this reason and I love it!)
I bought some books on it, but I can direct you to some great links that I've used too...

I hope that all helps! Have fun!

Answer 2

Be careful preparing it at home there is a curing process for the fish that if not done correctly can give you some nasty parasites. I'd get my hands on a really good instructional book first . When I was learning I practiced using sushi rice and nori and I'd make vegetable rolls before moving on to fish. The cuts of fish you need to use are pretty pricey and you do waste a lot trimming it. I'll be honest the profit margin on sushi is pretty slim unless you're eating at Nobu. I do it because it's meditative for me, as the savings are so slim it's not a cost issue.

i have a dvd locally produced by a master sushi chef called sushi 101: just like that. great vid, but I think it was only locally sold. I did a search and all i found was an interview, and no link to purchase the video. it's funny and educational. it can even get you drunk if you play along with the video. LOL. if you're a sushi freak, remember getting all the ingredients cost too and if you add all the time it takes to purchse the ingredients, prep, cook, clean...it might just be worth it to buy sushi from time to time and be cheaper in the long run. if you're planning a party, then that might be different. good luck.

Answer 4

sushi is easy to make but it`s expensive whether you buy it ready made or to do it yourself, most importantly is your nori sheets and sushi rice( you also need to know how to prepare the rice) basically you can put anything in vegetables or fish whatever you want, you also don`t need to make the rolls you can make sandwiches. but remember it should no be too thick nor too thin. wasabi paste is always a winner if you like it hot or even horseraddish if you like it mild.

Answer 5

The most important thing is getting hold of the raw fish (sashimi) you're going to use as the basis of your sushi. Once you get hold of the sashima, which is usually quite expensive on its own, all you need is the sushi rice (japanese short grain rice with white vinegar), seaweed pieces, and a sushi roll to shape it all together. But as ingredients itself (especially the sashimi) can be quite expensive and unworth-it to put all together (and you prob. won't use it enough to balance out the costs) I'd suggest you buy from a restaurant so there's no hassle.
