How to learn to make sushi

Sushi is a food that originated in Japan. It is popular with many people because it is easy to carry, delicious and nutritious. There are different types of sushi, the most common of which are rice balls and rolls. No matter what form of sushi you choose, you need to master certain methods and techniques when making it, so that you can finally make delicious sushi. So, how should sushi be made? The following is a detailed introduction.

Production method 1: Rice ball style

How to cook fish: This is the simplest. Slice the fish into 2.5 cm wide and 5-6 cm long slices. Slice them diagonally. Then make a rectangular rice ball of 2*2*4.5 in size, put a little green mustard in the middle of the fish fillet, then cover the rice ball, turn it over and place it on a plate to shape it.

The methods for making vegetables, crab sticks, and eggs are the same as those for making rice balls. The only difference is that a piece of seaweed should be tied on the top to make it more secure and easier to hold.

Production method 2: roll

You can usually buy special seaweed sheets for making sushi in stores. Personally, I feel that it is difficult to buy good Japanese seaweed. In fact, many Korean seaweeds are very good and cheaper.

Generally, 10 pieces are made at a time, which can make 20 rolls. Each roll can be cut into 6 pieces, which means that one bag of seaweed can be used to make 20 different kinds of sushi, a total of 120 small pieces.

There are two types of rolled seaweed: one is an outer roll, and the other is an inner roll (rice inside and seaweed outside).

1. The method of external volume:

Fold a sheet of seaweed in half. Take half of it and look carefully. The seaweed has two sides, the smooth side facing down, and evenly apply rice on the rough side. The amount of rice to use is: make a rice ball slightly smaller than the palm of your hand, place it in the center of the seaweed, and push from the inside to the outside and from the middle to both sides. If your hands feel sticky, you can moisten them with some water.

After the whole sheet of nori is covered with rice, sprinkle some white sesame seeds in the middle, then turn the nori over, apply a little green mustard in the middle, and then put your favorite things on it. Now start rolling. Pick up the long bottom edge and roll it towards the middle, then roll it again.

2. The practice of involution

Unlike the outer roll, a bamboo mat is required. It is also OK without it, but the shape of the sushi will not be very good and it will fall apart easily.

Place half a sheet of nori on the lower part of the bamboo mat, with the smooth side facing downwards. Then make a rice ball that is 1/3 smaller than your palm and place it in the middle of the nori. Also, slowly push the rice outwards, but this time do not cover the entire nori with rice. Leave 2 cm on the top and 1 cm on the bottom. Then apply mustard and add your favorite food (not too much). When rolling, pull the seaweed to align with the bottom of the bamboo curtain, then roll it towards the middle, release the bamboo curtain at the bottom, and roll it up again with the bamboo curtain.
