Tips for making sushi

A friend of mine had a sushi making party this week and I wanted to share with you some tips which I thought was rather useful. When you are making sushi, make sure you have a bowl of water next to you because you need to wet your fingers to make handling of the rice easier.
the rice for sushi is made with Japanese Sushi rice and rice vinegar. ( Cook the rice like you would cook ordinary rice . but when it is cooked, you add a little rice vinegar and cool the rice ) .

When the rice is cooled, you spread it on the nori ( seaweed) sheet , allowing a small margin of 1/2 an inch at the top but fill in the rest of the sheet with a thin layer of rice. Be careful not to be too thick. don.t worry if there appears to be some gap between the rice grains. Then add the ingredients you like to the middle and roll tightly with the sushi mat.

No recipe given here but if you have any questions or comments you would like toshare you can click on comment or email me .
