Now let's us learning it together. Sushi can category by many variation, such as california roll, spider roll, tekkamaki, dragon roll and others. As a beginner, the basic sushi roll is the best choice to learn it. The steps are easy to follow, and suitable for any skill level. Your favourite sushi rolls can be customized to include your favourite ingredients and be suited to your taste.

Firstly, prepare your ingredients like below:

• A bamboo rolling mat (Makisu)
• Cutting board
• A sharp knife
• A wooden spoon or spatula
• A large wooden or glass bowl
• Medium grain rice
• Rice vinegar
• Sugar
• Salt
• Lemon juice
• Nori Seaweed or soybean paper (for rolls)
• Wasabi (Japanese horseradish mustard)
• Fish, seafood, and/or vegetables as desired, depending upon what type of sushi you plan to make
• Soy sauce

Preparation method:

1. Prepare sushi rice about 1 hour before you will need it. As it needs time to cool down completely before you roll it into your sushi.


2. Boil water. Add rice. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer until rice absorbs water.


3. While rice is cooking, don't waste time. In a small bowl, mix the vinegar, sugar, salt and lemon juice. Blend the mixture into the rice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer just until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.


4. While you are waiting for your rice to cool, you can prepare your other ingredients, as described in the list.

5. When the rice is cool, you are ready to make your sushi. Centre one sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands, spread about 2 tablespoons of rice in a line at one end of the sushi. Use the spoon to flatten it out to make a very thin layer.



6. Line up your ingredients in the middle of the nori. Lift the end of the mat, and gently roll it over the ingredients, pressing gently. Roll it forward to make a complete roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Use a few drops of water to help the end stick to the roll, if needed.

 

7. Slice the roll into 6 or 8 equal pieces. If you like, you can serve it with soya sauce or wasabi.

 

Important tip: Keep the knife very moist to prevent sticking, remoistening before each cut.
