Kalau nak buat sushi, kena ada :
1. Sushi mat
2. Nori sheet atau seaweed sheet
3. Beras for sushi. Usually ada jual dalam packet special for nak buat sushi..or you can recognize beras tu by the appearance. Gemuk2 and pendek2. Common misconception ialah sushi was made using beras pulut ( i did :P..) sebab texturenya yang melekit2 dan berkilat. But really, it's the beras and the vinegar solution yang make the texture looks like that.
Any special skills kena ada :
1. Basic skill masak nasik.
2. Rock n roll :P
The first step for making sushi is to masak nasik. I usually masak the old fashion way atas stove, 2 cups of rice with 2 cups of water, ratio 1-1. Kalau nak guna rice cooker pun boleh jugak..sajer jer kasik tradiotional sket.
While rice is cooking, boleh prepare the vinegar solution, which consist of 6 sudu besar rice vinegar, 4 sudu besar gula,1 sudu teh garam, mix all and cook with api kecik jer until semua melt.
Bila nasik dah masak, kaut and put in a bowl, biar dia warm sket and start putting the vinegar solution sket2. Kacau slowly as not to smash the perfect sushi rice. Bila all dah nampak cam glossy shine and sticky to the touch, then voila, your rice is ready for rock and roll.
Nak roll ni i wud consider tricky part sikit. Odds are, the first time roll tu memang tak akan dapat shape yang diinginilah... so sabar... with practise, you'll be just fine. Letak seaweed atas sushi mat tadi and start putting your rice on top of the seaweed. Ratakan, leaving only about 2 cm seaweed uncovered at the end (to seal the rolling end). Don't put too much nasi, as long as you can still see seaweed sikit2 dicelah2 nasik tu, then you are on the right track :).
Letak la apa nak letak dalam sushi ni.. my favourite ialah crab stick, zucchini and avocado (potong panjang2). Roll your sushi. Kat last2 tu, basahkan the uncovered part of seaweed tadi and seal the whole rolling process.
Potong and ready to eat.
