i make sushi sometimes at work (grocery store wagie)
it is pretty easy and delicious

>>14966604
dude that kinda looks like ass compared to the rolls the spic at the sushi place I order from makes

>>14966617
Sushi is all anout the rice according to that guy anthony bourbon talked to

>>14966734
Kek I too have a spic master sushi maker, he's fucking awesome. Chinks on suicide watch

>>14966604
yeah I just use calrose, tuna salad, and seaweed sheets. I usually don't slice it and eat it in phallic form.
Spam musubi is also incredibly easy and delicious.

>>14966604
I’ve always wanted to but never got to fiddling around with it. Do you have any special tools like a mat or a special knife?

>>14966878
Answer the question OP.
Otherwise the dog gets it.

>>14966923
Stop you faggot! Yes, get yourself a bamboo mat to roll your sushi and a super sharp sushi knife to easily cut the rolls

>>14966848
Are you me? I've also recently made masubi and it is by far one of the best dishes I've made. So simple but so fucking good. But yes, I make sushi when I'm feeling the need. I don't usually get sushi grade fish though. Too much of a hassle. Imitation crab, canned tuna, and shrimp is pretty much what I work with. Sometimes broiled eel from a can as well.

>>14966604
My gf hates fish but was sad that she could never try sushi so I made sushi that had various American fillings like philly cheesesteak sushi and baked ziti sushi and bacon cheeseburger sushi came out pretty good

Ok

DISGUSTING

>>14966604
whats the point of sushi? its like a shitty version of smoked herring.

>>14966604
Why would I dip my food in literal soy sauce?

>>14966617
It's literally perfect
>>14966604
How did you make your rice? How wet did you get it when rolling?
I can never make the rice right and it ends up being a mess

>>14966923
well you got what you want...anyways, give it to the dog.

I love seeing that little slab of cream cheese in my sushi as I dip it into some shoyu. Shoyu that I've mashed fake wasabi into.

Poor girl too used to BBC

Welcome to the club chad.

>>14967843
inari sushi is so good

>>14966604
I hate you and I hope you get a crippling, painful injury that scars you and will cause you issues for the rest of your life.

>>14966923
Yeah get a bamboo rolling mat. You can get one at Walmart for like 5 bucks but your local slant store will sell them for a dollar.

Protip : wrap it in cellophan/zip it in a plastic bag for easy cleaning

>>14968959
Ill fucking kill you faggot

>>14966604
> Cream Cheese in Sushi
You've forgotten to bread and deep-fry it, then stuff it in a burger. Obviously needs some Ranch Dressing and Hot Sauce too.

>>14966878
No. A bamboo mat is a plus, but you can just use a clean rag.

Is there a way to make sure your fish is safe to eat raw? I used to not give a fuck because my country's food industry is pretty good for raw meat and shit (unlike american), but I'm really not sure for fish.

>>14969204
"Sushi grade" fish means it's been flash frozen to kill any bacteria/parasites in it making it safer for raw consumption. Don't just use raw fish.

>>14969204
I mean most of the countries force sellers to freeze their fish before selling and that kills parasiytes. Your normal house freezer is usually not cold enough but it should've been frozen previously, unless you're literally buying fish that just got caught.

>>14966604
Your rice is overcooked and you put way too much of it in. You'll get it eventually anon, keep at it, I believe in you.
>pic related, I also put too much rice sometimes.

>>14969204

>>14967097
is not doing it with sushi grade actually dangerous or what? i've eaten a good amount of homemade sushi, and i don't think the fish was 'sushi grade'

>>14967795
what's under those greens in the back?

>>14967785
that sushi and the liver with ikura looks great

>>14966604
Made some nigiri sushi with rice I cooked myself (before I had a rice cooker so it felt like an accomplishment to get it right) and smoked salmon once. It was p gud.

>>14969420
could you describe with a little more detail how did you coo your rice and how you prepared it?

>>14969980
I used to do it in a pot but it was often a bit too mushy and the kombu sometimes got a bit flaky. At one point I got a decent ricecooker and never looked back.
Rinse the rice a couple of times, cook it with a piece of kombu, prepare a dressing with pic related, when the rice is cooling down add the dressing and ventilate it so it cools as you mix it up using slicing movements so as to not crush the grains.
The dressing as it is is a bit too sweet if you use mirin though so I would cut the sugar in half.

Sushi grade is just a meme, it just means it was handled well and flash frozen for shipment. You might have a wholesale seafood distributor in your region who will do a will-call order for you if you want to get the same fish the sushi places around you use.

Personally, I only ever used Tuna raw, and it was perfect but I bought the good shit at the local distributor. Otherwise I stick to tempura shrimp rolls with tobiko, avocado and spicy surimi.

>>14969446
The best fish for eating raw safely would be Tuna and farmed Salmon. 99.5% of the raw salmon you eat at restaurants is farmed.

>>14971359
>>14969446
This. I do Costco farmed salmon and it's pretty good. Honestly prefer making Cali rolls more though. Find salmon isnt as flavorful. And this >>14971323
Sushi grade isn't a regulated term and is used for marketing. Any fish could be sold as 'sushi grade' with no repercussions. Doesn't mean anything

Op I swear if you don't answer me.. >>14967485
