Making sushi at home

downsized_0710091245
hey whats good bloggers, I am eric aka vido or vidosarducci i recently finished culinary school last Jan. and had worked at midtown grill as their chef for a small stint, and had since moved on to be a personal chef in NJ.  i am of the ripe young age of 23 i love cooking for my own enjoyment and for a living. during my schooling i had learned the basics to making sushi, and had since been practicing.  obviously not a master but none the less i enjoy making it myself and as well eating what i had worked hard to make.


who doesn't love sushi, but at the same time who loves paying the high bill when your done.  of course it is always nice to get great sushi from your favorite joint (my fav. is Sakura on 72nd and keystone).  at the same time it is fun to try to make it yourself.  and at a half of the cost why not have fun with it.  many people are timid about doing so but with a little practice you can enjoy many of the same rolls you get from such sushi restaurants and empress your friends at the same time.  the key to making good sushi at home is to buy the freshest ingredients possible especially seafood.  some great places to go are whole foods, fresh market or you favorite seafood vendor. indicators of fresh seafood are, it should have no off smell, it should smell of the ocean, as well as not to have an off color, there should be no bruising.  this tray of sushi i made at home cost me around 50 Washington's, and fed three hungry people easily.  where as it would have cost me at least a hundo at my favorite sushi restaurant, plus the cost of too many sake bombs.

the tools

sushi rolling mat
plastic wrap
very sharp knife
bowl of water
moist towel

the ingredients for CALI roll

Norri seaweed paper-cut in half lengthwise
sesame seeds
crab meat - imitation works but spend the extra money and get the good shit ie. lump crab meat
cucumber pealed and seeded cut into strips
avocado slices
warm sushi rice - mastering the art of making sushi rice is harder then making the actual sushi i cheat and go to the restaurant and just buy the rice from them
all ingredients can be found at your local food store

procedure

lay seaweed out on sushi mat and wet your fingers in water, spread just enough rice over just to cover but still be able to see green from the seaweed through the rice.  sprinkle with sesame seeds and flip over (this is for any inside out roll) lay small amount of crab, cucumber, and avocado and roll as you would your favorite past time, but remember not to tight. lay plastic wrap over and dip knife into water and cut into eight pieces, cleaning knife after every cut. enjoy soy sauce and wasabi paste.rolling-sushi_1

sushi is one complete meal you have protein carbs and veggies all in one and it is healthy in moderation.  if you are timid to trying sushi start off trying the California roll or any of your favorite vegitable rolls and venture from there. sushi is very fun to enjoy on intimate dates and in parties because you share everything. add sake bombs and no need to hit the club.
Check back often as i'll keep on bringing you that good good as only a private budget baller chef can.
