Some things to remember while making sushi for first time

Sushi is a very delicious Japanese dish that can be consumed anytime and anywhere. It is
normally served in small portions and used as snacks also. This dish is made up of rice cooked in
rice vinegar and is served with cooked or raw sea food. There are few things that every person
is required to remember while cooking sushi to make it more delicious and perfect. Rice to be
used is required to be considered very carefully. It should be white rice with short grains or cal
rose rice can also be used for this purpose. Most of the professional sushi chefs do not
recommend using brown rice or instant rice. They are not appropriate for making sushi at all.

Always remember not to overcook or undercook rice to make a good sushi dish. For the
purpose of rinsing and draining, colander is needed but it is just optional not mandatory. A
good quality sushi vinegar is also required which is to be mixed gently to rice. Always
remember, do not use more than a single table spoon of sushi vinegar for one cup of rice. Every
ingredient is required to be mixed accurately and gently. Nori sea weed rolls are also used in
this dish that can be bought from any of the Asian grocery store and remember to keep it in a
clean place. Do not buy a thin sea weed wrapper as it can be very difficult for you to handle it.
Always consider leaving approximately one inch space from both sides that gives you more
convenience of wrapping it. You are required to keep the thickness of rice about 1/4 th of inch
and nori should be visible through it. For toppings, always choose fresh vegetables or meat or
any sea food to make the dish more delicious.
