Making your own Sushi at home....

[kim carnes]

I probably spend about $400 a month eating sushi.  I think it's worth it for me to try. I really enjoy it.

where do you go for sushi?

[Dub]

Make sushi about once a week.  You can walk into whole foods and they have sushi grade salmon and tuna typically available daily.  Then go to the sushi stand and ask the people behind it for a big container of sticky rice.  You can also order volcano sauce and a few other things or just make it at home.

That's called getting sushi takeout

Sushi rice is avail at most grocery stores.  Then buy a rice maker.  Super cheap and easy.  Rice is the absolute easiest thing to nail down at home when it comes to DIY'ing sushi.

Hmmmm.  Interesting if true.  Pretty sure a couple hundo million asians would disagree, though.

yes the ancient art of loading up the rice cooker has been taught for generations

Do you still cook over a fire that came to life through rubbed sticks?

Do you think 100 million "asians" use rice cookers for sushi?

[CNS]

I don't know for sure, but do know that millions own rice cookers.  So, possibly.

I get this idea from the Japanese lady that taught my sushi class at the JCCA thing who basically said exactly what I posted.

[ChiComCat]

I did a class at an elite sushi restaurant in Denver (gift for GF).  They would order for you and sell you the fish.  I would go to an elite sushi restaurant and ask.

As that sushi restaurant is too far away for us to use for good fish, I like to get supermarket salmon, marinade in teriyaki, and grill.  Serve it on some rice with wasabi and siracha mayo.  Not sushi, but a good substitute.

If you don't use a rice cooker, you're a chump.

wife likes to make sushi a couple times a month. Seems to not take any longer than anything else she makes.

Well it's me and my lady friend.  We go once or twice a week and it runs about $80 per visit after a cocktail and a big beer for me.  We just get a couple rolls and several pieces of salmon/tuna/eel.

So $120 on you $120 on the lady and $80 on boozing, $80 on tip. Doesn't seem so bad anymore.

pro-tip: don't get the rice with the peas and carrots already in it

the sushi apprentices that spend literally YEARS learning to make sushi rice laugh at you.

The habachi guy who spends years learning how to flip his knife and keeps his fingers probably thinks I chop my veggies like a pussy too.
