Does anyone successfully make sushi at home? Is it good/worth it? And I’m talking about easy, entry-level rolls.

>>16103768
Yeah, I make tuna/cucumber/avocado rolls at home. It is good and worth it, sushi is so fucking cheap to make. $10 will make more sushi than my braphog gf and lardass self can eat

years since I last saw this meme

Considering the last last thread got like 80 replies and fell off the board, I don't think this really gaining the traction you want

im a simple man. just the unagi for me please

>>16103985
i thought 80 was pretty good

>>16103998
my grandma loved inarizushi but for whatever reason stopped cooking when I was like 10 so I'd make it for her whenever she came over or would buy some when I came to visit.

>>16103985
I thought it was fun. Don't know how long we'll keep going but it was fun to talk. Glad to see people know to avoid escolar, more or less. :)

Where do you buy sushi grade fish that was flash frozen to avoid parasite?

>>16105359
I know costco, at least where I live, sells shashimi yellow tail tuna. however I suppose the best way would be to just go in and ask if the butcher.

The last thread went pretty well at the start but this one is very slow

why is japanese cuisine so hilariously bad?
the main staple dish of nipponland is sushi which is literally just fish on rice
their curry is just watered soup
ramen is just inferior version of authentic Chinese noodles
even instant noodles is taiwanese (Chinese) and not from japan

why could the nips not make a satisfactory cuisine?

>>16105425
because japan only cares about presentation and doesn't give a fuck about flavor

>>16105683
Not necessarily, if you looked at japanese sites with recipes, some of the pics look absolutely gruesome while the food comes out quite tasty.

i wanted to make sushi once but then i got lazy halfway through so after i finished with making sushi rice, i just put it in a small bowl, topped it with the salmon and tuna i had, crushed up the seaweed wrapper and ate it.
it was fucking good.

>>16105840
So basically just poke?

>>16105884
Poke is just renamed chirashizushi.

>sushi is so fucking cheap to make.
>I make tuna rolls at home
pick one and only one

don't let the thread die

>>16106284
I'm just not poor I guess, $15 gets enough tuna for like 10 sushi rolls which is a shitload. It's way way cheaper than a night out or buying sushi from a restaurant or even the grocery store.

Costco's farm raised salmon is safe raw. Not wild caught. That's the only one I bothered to research since I only like making crab and salmon rolls though

There is a significant chance my parents and I will be getting some sushi as take out tonight. I will post the haul if this occurs.

What's the most amount of sushi you've ever eaten in one sitting? I distinctly remember one time I went out with some friends and we got pic related, plus another small plate that I didn't photograph. The best part is that there was a couple at the table adjacent to us, and they were smirking and giggling when the staff brought out the first plate. They were dead silent when they brought out the other two.
>Pic related is the first plate

>second one
It took us some time, but we managed to eat all of it. We were set on sushi for a few weeks after though.
Near the end there was one single salmon left, and we all kept staring at it, unable to finish it. The problem was if we left anything, we had to pay the whole order's a la carte price instead of the all-you-can-eat rate. After what felt like an eternity of silent debate I ended up stopping one of my friends and shoved it in my mouth. Good times.

Why would they smirk? That seems like an average sized portion, I'd say?

If you guys are ever in North Carolina or Florida, Cow Fish is an amazing restaurant that has sushi, burgers and a mixture of the two. Easily my favorite restaurant, the food, ambiance and service are all top tier.

>>16109067

>>16109083

>>16109109
"Brick" is missing twice, sorry phone turn to emoji. $15/20 per brick, idk how much the brick weighs but it make a lot of sushi

>>16103768
I make spicy tuna rolls at home. It's definitely worth it but I'd still rather eat a more flavorful roll by a professional chef if I wanna have a good dinner.
Really cost efficient and tastes pretty good.

Good morning, /sg/!!! How are all my sushicuties doing today?

I've been to cow fish in florida very good, they also had milk shakes those where very good as well

classic sushi film

At what point does something stop being sushi? What is the ingredient or form of preparation that pushes it over the line?
