We already explain how to make sushi rice and we’re now ready to begin to make a sushi roll. But first you need a bamboo mat, nori and the ingredients that you will use for the filling. You have to remember that you can use anything for filling the sushi. Many people think that sushi is uncooked fish but that is false, sushi is rice with vinegar. It’s true that sushi with rare fish can taste delicious but many people fear to use rare fish and prefer to cook or use other things. When my budget is low I use can food.

My favorite sushi is spicy shrimp and that is the receipt I will follow in this post. For a spicy shrimp roll you need shrimp, sriracha , mayo and avocado. I cook the shrimp and cut them in little pieces and then add the sriracha sauce. After finishing the shrimp I add mayo to the mix. Later we will take the nori and cut in half. Before taking sushi rice is recommended to wet our hands with sushi vinegar because the rice is very sticky. Then we will take rice with the size of a ball and cover the nori. We have to spread the rice the thickest possible. We have to leave a space without rice. Then we will add the fillings in the middle of the rice part, then we will roll the mat until the part that have not rice. You have to make sure that you’re holding the mat even. Then you will make step back with the roll and then continue rolling until you cover all the nori. Then you will cut the sushi in 6 pieces or 8 pieces.

If you will add more than 2 filling you will have to cut the nori in a bigger piece because with only half sheet you will not be able to cover all the sushi. If you notice making sushi is not a science however to prepare a quality sushi you need practice and patience. Be sure to follow every step and you will succeed in your quest to making sushi.

There are many people that are starting to love sushi. But no everybody can pay sushi rolls in a restaurant. If you are from those people than can spend money in a restaurant probably will want to repeat that experience very often and that can be very expensive. The good thing is that with the internet we can easy learn how to make sushi in your house. In that way you will save money and you can eat sushi more often without having to spend a lot of money each day.

I know that many people think that making sushi is very difficult and they will never do a sushi roll like the ones that are made in sushi restaurants. The true is that is not easy but neither is difficult and with practice you will be able to make a delicious sushi and you can play with your favorite ingredients.

In my opinion the most difficult part of making sushi is making the sushi rice. In the rest of this post we will concentrate in explain how to make sushi rice. The first thing we need is good sushi rice; you can use any grain but is preferable to use the grain that is made especially for sushi. Sushi rice is more expensive but you will see that the quality is greater.

Second we have to measure the rice and then rinse the rice. You have to keep in mind that rice expand up to 3 times and when you use 1 cup of rice it will become 3 cups of cooked rice. Clean the rice until the water is clearer and not white.

Third, we can proceed to cook the rice. If you have a rice cooker you will be able to make sushi rice easier.  With the sushi rice just adds the water and the rice and the rice cooker work for 20 to 25 minutes. The proportion of water is 1.15 of every cup of rice. Don’t remove the lid until is time to take out the rice. If you don’t have a rice cooker and you will use a stove, you need to put the temperature to boil. After the water start to boil let the rice cook for 30 seconds then lower the temperature to medium and let the rice cook for another 15 minutes or 20 depending in the amount of rice that is cooked. After the 15 minutes put the temperature in low and let the rice cook for another 5 minutes.

After the rice is cook you need to take out the rice with a wooden spoon. Then you will add the rice vinegar and your finish.
