Sushi Roll to Go...
Sushi is open to an almost never-ending variation. Though many people are intimidated just by the idea of mastering sushi-making in the comfort of their own kitchen, it’s really not that complicated. And given that it’s an awfully popular dish, it certainly deserves a try.
The first and foremost thing to consider when making sushi is the rice. The standard long-grain rice is not sticky enough to use for sushi. You must use a sticky short-grain rice. The most recommended brands to be used for making sushi are Tamanishiki, Nishiki, or Botan. Follow the package instructions and cook up 3 cups of rice. Make sure to rinse the cooked rice in cold water before starting.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the seasoning.
• 1/3 cup wine vinegar
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
Combine the 3 ingredients in a saucepan and place it over a medium flame. Stir the mixture to dissolve the sugar. Place the cooked rice into a large bowl. Using a wooden spoon, drizzle 1/4 of the seasoning over the rice. Using a spoon or spatula, gently fold the mixture into the rice. If clumps form, break them up, but be careful not to smash the rice. Add the remaining vinegar mixture, fold and allow the rice to sit for 5 minutes.

Being that the top parts of the fish has the most flesh and is the juiciest, it is best to use for sushi. Simply cut the fish into small pieces. ...continue reading
Sushi How-To
Although sushi is most frequently associated with Japanese restaurants, it in fact dates back to 17th century China. The Chinese began making sushi in order to preserve fish, way before refrigeration was invented. Both salt and rice were needed to assist in the fermentation process and as a result, sushi got well acquainted with rice. As time went on and the Chinese and Japanese cultures crossed, sushi became an accepted food choice in both countries.
