    Ingredients

    The list of ingredients for Sushi is very extensive. Therefore, you arepresented the ingredients that we like to use for Sushi, but this only a smalllist. More are listed in the recipes section.

    These ingredients can be used to make your rolls, be creative andexperiment new things as you progress.

    The BasicsThe BasicsThe BasicsThe Basics

    Sushi Rice Dry roasted seaweed (Nori) Pickled ginger (Gari) Rice Vinegar (Su)

    Japanese Horseradish (Wasabi) Soy sauce (Shoyu) Salt, sugar Roasted Sesame seeds (Goma)

    Filling examplesFilling examplesFilling examplesFilling examples

    Fresh Salmon, Eel English cress White radish

    Crab/Seafood sticks Light chives cream cheese Yellow pepper

    Smoked salmon Omelette Steak, foie gras Bacon

    Creamy blue cheese Figues, mago, banana Pickled radish (Takuan) Avocado

    Asparagus Carrot (steamed) Cucumber Spinach

    And the list goes on.

    Note about WasabeNote about WasabeNote about WasabeNote about Wasabe

    The real wasabi is an expensive root that takes about 3 years

    to come to maturity and does not keep for very long. We useinstead Japaneese Horseradish; which is what you usually

    find in restaurants and in tubes in supermarket. If you havea choice, do not buy the one in tube, prefer the powder one,you will be able to make it as strong as you want, keep it forlonger and there will be no additional salt and preservatives.

    Dry- Roasted Seaweed (Nori)

    Please get the most expensive Nori you can find to ensure you make goodsushi. Raw nori sheets have a brownish-red to purplish color, and they arehard to find. Most nori sold today is very lightly roasted to bring out itsflavor and to enhance its texture. When nori is roasted, its color deepens to

    black.

    Choose nori with a dark black color. Over-toasting changes the color tolight green. Moderate quality nori may have a hint of a deep green sheen.Lighter green nori is substandard. One side of the nori sheet should beshiny; the other a flat color.

    Nori is highly susceptible to deterioration from humidity. Soft nori sheetshave been damaged by exposure to moisture. Choose nori that is crisp,almost brittle. Nori becomes soft quickly when rolled with wet sushi rice soit is best to make sushi rolls right before you serve it. That is why goodsushi chefs always directly present hand rolls to the diner for immediateeating.

    This way, the nori will retain its delightful crispness. Even nori that iswrapped around sushi rice should never be chewy.Be sure to apply the sushi rice to the rougher side (not the shiny side) ofthe nori. The sushi rice should always be around 38 degrees when usedwith nori.

    For those not too fan about the seaweed, you can use many more options.

    We have listed for you a couple of pages of alternatives to Nori to show you

    what can be done with Sushi, enjoy!

    Loosen the rice lightly with awooden/plastic spoon to ensure thatthe vinegar mixture is coating eachgrain of rice. You want the rice to movefreely in the dish, so if you have lots of

    rice, do it in 2 steps!Never use metal at this stage, it wouldinteract with the rice and vinegar andgive a horrible metallic taste to yoursushi!

    When mixing the rice with the vinegar,take your time and make sure that youare trying to break down into individual

    grain any lumps of rice as well as trying to coat each grain of rice with themixture.

    You can fan the rice with a fan in the other hand or an electric fan to coolthe rice down a bit quicker if you wish.Note: you do not have to fan the rice, but it needs to cool down to about 38degrees to be perfect for Sushi, fanning it simply accelerates the process.

    Please do not keep the rice in a fridge as it will make it hard and too dry totaste. You can keep the rice at room temperature and cover the bowl with apiece of damp cloth, ideally to be used within the next hour. Sushi rice isbest when it is freshly made. It can keep of course for a bit loner, but it willlose a bit of its softness.

    Some key points when making sushiSome key points when making sushiSome key points when making sushiSome key points when making sushirice:rice:rice:rice:

    Always use freshly made rice, do not refrigerate. This dries the riceand causes it to fall apart when moulded for sushi.

    If using a Saucepan, make sure the lid is tight. This will prevent toomuch water evaporation. Use a non-stick pan.

    Carefully and accurately measure rice and water ingredients.

    Dont overcook or undercook your rice. If the rice is too hard; try to pre-soak the rice for 30 minutes inwater after washing it; then see if you had enough water, or try tosteam it for longer at the end. Most likely it is the second reason, butif you are sure about your measurements, try working on the othertwo possible reasons.

    If the rice is too strong or too bland, adjust the amounts of sushi ricevinegar accordingly. You can also try to adjust the sushi rice vinegarby adding salt, or sugar.

    Your Sushi Making Guide

    If you have no or little experience with making sushi, this is theperfect place to start. You will get the hang of it in a few tries, andthen you should be able to make them with ease and save a lot ofmoney!

    Remember that Sushi is a way of cooking rather that a set of dishes.What makes Sushi so good is combination of the rice and Sushivinegar mixed together; do not rush when preparing and mixing therice, it will make or break your sushi!

    Be creative and always think about strong colour contrast and cleanarrangements to obtain best results.In Sushi, 70% is preparation, so get everything ready and cleanlylaid out in front of you before you start!
