Sushi Home style Chef / myLot

My daughter is a sushi lover and on her Birthday she decided to make her own sushi for her guests . . . Let me just tell you, there is a lot of preparation that goes into sushi and next time you dip a Maki or a California roll into the soy sauce and munch it, hear my words - ITS a lot of hard work!! The rice had to be made in the morning, cured with the vinegar rice and then left to sand and room temperature covered with a wet cloth to prevent it from drying out. As sushi should be eaten super fresh - she started at about 5pm for her quests that were arriving at 6pm. It was fast rolling, salmon was kept chilled all the time - Trout the same, avo had to be cut just the correct way - in strips as too the carrots and courgettes for the vegetarians. What a Fiasco! Luckily she was done on time and TA-DA Sushi was served. Well done M - you are indeed a Sushi Home style Chef!

Hats off ! I always heard that it was very difficult to prepare. I have seen sushi kits offering the rice already prepared, but I have not dared to buy one. I should try once.

@LadyDuck I do not know exactly what are providing these kits, but the rice was included. I am not a big fan of sushis, it is not bad times to times, but I would not eat some every week.

@topffer I would not eat sushi every week either. I have seen some kits and there is raw rice inside, it's not already cooked.

The rice is the most important part of the sushi preparation and an already prepared rice sounds very weird to me. I make sushi at home often because my niece is a fan of sushi. All the young people now seem to love only this Japanese food.

I know that it is a lot of work because I always make sushi at home. The most difficult part of all the thing is the rice.
