How to Make Sushi

How To Make Sushi
You don’t need to train with well-known chefs to make your own sushi. Here are simple ways to make fool proof sushi:
• Hold the nori and look for the smooth and rough sides. Make sure that the rough side is facing upwards (towards you) on the mat.
• Keep your hands wet and make balls out of rice. At the same time, make sure that the nori stays dry – a bowl of water for the rice and a dry towel for the nori by your side will be the best option.
• Gently place the ball of rice in the middle of the nori sheet and start spreading it evenly, almost coating the entire sheet except for a portion of about 2 cm on the top part.
• Place a slice of fish (preferably not more than 1) on the edge of the nori, together with about 1-3 slices of vegetables (be as creative as you want with the vegetable choices).
• Starting with the edge of the mat closest to you, enclose the filling with the nori, making a small hill shaped like a rectangle and press it to tighten from above.
• Go forward and continue with the rolling, keeping everything tight with every step of the rolling process. Keep on doing this until you reach the end of the nori. Keep the roll tight from all 3 sides by applying pressure as you move along.
• Using a wet, extremely sharp knife, cut the roll into little sushi pieces. You can make 6 to 8 pieces from each roll, it’s entirely up to you!
