I have bought the ingredients for sushi – rice, rice vinegar, seaweed and mat. All I need to do is buy some fresh fish and get rolling.
I’ve even got wasabi peas. I don’t like wasabi peas but want it to be authentic.
How I did it: I already had one of those sushi kits (it came with a bamboo mat & bamboo paddle). I went out to the Asian Mart and bought some stuff like powdered wasabi (just add water), sushi soy sauce, nori sheets, sticky rice, avocados, carrots, cucumbers, and synthetic crab meat. I wanted to stay away from any real meats that I could get people sick from, since it was my first time making sushi. It takes like three hours to make it. It takes an… Read how I did it…

How I did it: My dad and I always go to this sushi place downtown but one day we decided to make sushi. Its kinda funny because we had no clue how to do it. he made his all nice and neat and mine looked like a ball of all sorts of things. Plain crab, rice and seaweed are the easiest to make and its a fun experience. It brought me and my dad closer. Read how I did it…
How I did it: you need sushi rice, seaweed paper, any fish or veggies, water, a really sharp knife (preferably a sushi knife), and a makisu mat. the water is to keep your hands moist otherwise the rice will stick to you and everything else around you. so wet your hands. grab a ball of rice a little bigger than the size of a lemon. don't spread the rice but more or less roll it out evenly on the paper. next, turn the paper over and put whatever you want… Read how I did it…

Absnasm is changing changing changing.
I’ve been meaning to do this for over a year now, and last weekend I finally got around to it. I used the recipes from the Veganomicon, doctoring them slightly to allow for non-vegan mayo, and chopped up marinated tofu (the kind made by Cauldron) instead of tempeh, which is a little hard to come by. Other fillings included mucho avocado, sesame seeds, slivers of carrot and cucumber. Obviously no fish – technically, the raw fish stuff is sashimi, not sushi.
So much fun, and easy! And a lot quicker to make than one would think. I had an absolute blast squishing sticky rice onto seaweed, layering up pretty fillings and rolling them up with my little sushi mat. It was playtime with fun food, and it looked great once I’d sliced it up and arranged the pieces on the plate. HA snapped loads of pics of my hands in action and I felt like a food stylist.
And yummmmm, it was so tasty! We blasted our way through the lot within minutes, dipping them in soy sauce and superhot wasabi. We couldn’t get the pickled ginger jar open for love nor money, but no matter, they were still incredibly delicious.
I’m totally doing it again as soon as possible. Next time I hope to have ginger available, and I’ll also pat the rice a bit more thinly, but other than that it was a really fun, healthy and tasty dinner.

merlotini is making a lot of changes.
now i have a sushi rolling mat and sushi nori! But! i’ve been stuck here on the net dumbfounded by the process of making a real good sushi. now i know i cant just use the long grain rice…its gotta b the japanese rice. else it wont be sticky enough. then there’s that need for the rice vinegar to make the sushi rice taste better…
oh well, guess this goal has to wait til i’ve got enough time to go over the do-it-yourself sushi recipe,(and make it really good on my first try!)
i’m excited!!!! =)

my all-time favorite… cant be in japanese restaurants all the time. quite expensive. so, gotta make sushi on my own…couple it with wasabi and home-made shrimp tempura. yummy!!!!!
I’m in love. Sushi is just so yummy and healthy at the same time. I don’t get guilt trips when I eat it. It makes my dad throw up, but that’s the only negative I can think of!
janes23 is on the move..
My sushi addiction is of the form of a near constant craving. But it’s a finely honed reliance, this is. I’d like to learn how to roll my own, and maybe make combinations of some of my current faves!

Amanita asks,
“So do you need any particular 'cut' of fish or will a good quality fillet from the butcher/fishmonger do?”
