How To Roll Sushi

How To Roll Sushi-

Meatless Monday will be back in January. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas celebration. I’m still enjoying some time off with my husband. We had a wonderful Christmas together. Our family ( daughter, son in law and all five grandchildren)were here for Christmas eve and  I’ll share the fun in an upcoming post. Meanwhile as we rest and relax from our celebration. I hope you will enjoy this repost of the sushi experiment from 2010. I look forward to reading your comments.

 

The 2010 Sushi Experiment-

how to roll sushiMy husband loves sushi. Me, well, not so much, giggle (yes deliberate poor English here). We decided to make our own. We watched a few youtube videos. You can find most anything you need on google and youtube these days!
We needed to learn the art of rolling. Rolling down a hill is easy, so how hard can rolling sushi be?
We gathered all of our sushi making goodies and started rolling.
Sushi mat
Sharp knife
Nori sheets(seaweed)
Sushi rice
Sushi filling of your choice (shrimp,salmon,avocado soy sauce, cucumber sauce)
Wasabi (optional)
Before you roll-
Prepare the sushi rice.
rolling sushi
Place your sushi mat on a flat surface, so that the lines of bamboo run across horizontally.
Place the nori sheet across sushi mat with the rough side facing up. Most nori sheets have perforations so you can break it with your hands.
Dip your fingers in water.
Take about a cup of rice into your hands and gently form it into a firm ball. And put the rice ball in the middle of the nori sheet.
Using wet fingers spread the rice evenly, be about ¼ inch thick. Leave about one inch of space at the top edge of the nori. (You will use this part for sealing the sushi roll).
Spread a small amount of wasabi in a straight line horizontally across the bottom of the sheet of nori, on top of the rice.(optional.)
Add the filling of your choice horizontally, it should run across the bottom of the nori.
Take your mat, and roll upward toward the top of the mat. Push gently forward until a long roll is formed. Use wet fingertips to tuck the nori under to create the roll. Roll the sushi mat under as you press, lifting the mat as you roll. When you have a nice tight roll, roll it back and forth inside the mat to tighten it and seal it. Remove mat .
Wet your sharp knife and cut the roll into six – eight even pieces.
My husband (God bless him) has hands like baseball mitts. I call him Lenny (from Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men) he often doesn’t know his own strength. His first attempt oozed sushi fillings out both ends like toothpaste from a tube.

A few more tries and he had created what resembled sushi rolls. He ate them before I could take the photo. Sushi rolling is hungry work!

Then it was my turn….drum roll please…………………………
this is how my first try came out! Yes!!!

After a little muppet victory dance we sat down and ate the rest of our creations.

Guess what, yep, still don’t like sushi.
But I’ll be happy to roll it!
I ate mostly fried wontons for dinner.

Have you tried making your own sushi?

    Wow! cool! I’ve never been brave enough to try and make my own sushi. Or rather, i have ZERO patience, and it would likely make me cry! lol

    I’m so glad you had a nice Christmas. My sweetheart loves sushi but we
    don’t go out very often so that he can enjoy it. We’ll have to try making
    some at home.

    I am one of the “well done” type of people and have stayed away from that type of food entirely. Have seen some alternatives using veggies instead of seafood or other raw things. I might would try those since they look cute. Well, Katie girl, made it through another Christmas and time to put away that beautiful Christmas scene until another year. We had chilly but awesome weather for kids to be outside enjoying whatever they got so that was nice. Here it is 10:17 and Linda and Rocky are still asleep but that’s OK. Have a wonderful Monday and I’ll catch up with you later.
    Hugs,
    Odie

    Um, no plans to buy it, make it, or eat it. My Daughter and son in law eat so much sushi, they have two sushi dishes named after them at their favorite sushi restaurant. I prefer down home cooking.
