I enjoy putting together sushi parties with friends at my place. I have also taken a sushi class and there are some tricks and pitfalls to share. These tips and menu ideas will get you through a sushi night at home stress free. We usually have a lot of fun making sushi since our guests help out and get involved in the process. So let's get started.
What to get?
Tools: Sushi Roller (usually less than 5 dollars at your asian store)
Basic Ingredients:
Nori - Seaweed Sheets
Wasabi - (DO NOT GET THE TUBES! but the powder which is actually horseradish)
Soy Sauce (Some of the main stream brands are fine. However, you need to water them down to make them taste better 1/2 water 1/2 soy sauce. Try it, you will be pleasantly surprised.)
Ginger Pickled (I buy this ready made but some day plan to make it from the young ginger that they sell)
Cucumbers
Avocado
Fish:
Salmon is my favorite
Tilapia is ok if you have some good other flavors going on
Tuna is good
Broiled Eel (unagi) is a must for us
Short grain Rice you can make into Sushi Rice. I usually pick up Nishiki brand.
Mirin - Rice Wine Vinegar
