Home made sushi

Wow fair play, that looks great. Not even thought to attempt home made sushi.

It's not all that difficult if you pick up a decent book. I use Sushi: Taste and Technique which can be picked up for £10. Waitrose also sell pretty much everything you need to make sushi, but if like me you have an oriental supermarket in town I would go there. The fish roe I had to get from Selfridges in London.

Never made it and never tried it. Something I very much want to try. Looks very tasty.

Does anyone else really hate the word 'tasty'? It makes me cringe whenever I hear/read it.

God I love sushi.

Looks just like some quality supermarkets sushi

I was saying to my wife the other day I wanted to start making sushi. Yours looks great!

WOW. I absolutely adore sushi, I tried it randomly once at a Japanese place, and wanted it again (but at £9 its a bit expensive). I've always thought about making some at home but always decided against it because I thought it'd be difficult and turn out badly - you've given me hope and a good book to buy

As for the rice, it looks very similar to preparing for proper egg fried rice, my staple

Lovely little makki there. I do like sushi, but I discovered when I went to a sushi bar once that I'm best off sticking to it for a starter, I find it delicious but really rich.

How's the stuff you buy from a store? (the premade sushi's) is it tasty? (just for you Andelusion)

Looks great not sure if i would ever try it though.

LiE · 17 Mar 2010 at 18:22

Did anyone get round to making some sushi? I'm planning to make some more soon but need to get hold of the fish roe!

I love sushi but I have never thought about trying to make it myself. For some reason I'm not really keen on anything with salmon on, prefer to have tuna.

Looks yummy

tempted to try it now.

Depends where you buy it. Sushi restaurants usually have good quality and tastes nice but the ones you can buy in shops are meh.. With price usually comes quality. At least that's my experience!

I made raw tuna sushi last time but didn't take any photos. It's very tasty, my finacée loves it.

The sushi in supermarkets is pretty bad in my experience. Tesco is probably the worse, where they use very thinly sliced smoked salmon, and the rice is dry/very hard. Marks and Spencer is probably the best of the supermarkets.

My ex used could roll them up pretty good. Massive salmon fillet from Costco.

I cant get enough of the eel nigiri. I love that stuff.

Going to Tokyo a week monday, so get to try the stuff made by the big boys.

Sushi is great, you can eat loads of it, be full but its not heavy(like after having a roast dinner). And its very healthy.

Jamesbcd · 17 Mar 2010 at 18:38

Some stuff my aunt made.

I've tried it, not a massive fan though!

Biohazard · 17 Mar 2010 at 18:46

I think the sauce you get with it makes it taste much worse.

I eat it raw-raw, if you get me.

OP- Looks good!

GF and I had it for brekkie today nom
