Houdini's guide to sushi rolls

During the Covid-19 , I decided to bring back to life one of my hobbies Cooking. My mother and I are huge sushi rolls lovers but we had a problem the restaurants were close. So we went online to search "How to make sushi rolls at home ?" So we found this video that become our go to , when we needed to learn and then brush on our techniques .

We all know that saying "A good magician doesn't share his tricks " fortunately for everyone , I am not that type of magician let alone a magician . I digress , figuring out how to successfully make the sushi rolls took a lot of trials but we eventually crack the code so to speak .

This is what you need to prepare sushi rolls :

Having those video was only the half of it . We had to find our own techniques which I am glad to share with everyone.

Tip #1

No need to buy sushi rice because it's difficult to manage . We found out that Jasmine rice is way better and so much easier to deal with. All you have to do is follow the recipe with one caveat add half a cup of water and put the stove on low for the last 7 minutes.

Tip#2

When putting the rice on the sheet , make sure to have a small bowl of water and vinegar and deep your hand in it from time to time so that the rice won't stick to your hands.

Tip #3

you will have to purchase a rolling bamboo mat ( @Amazon sells the best one : Tetsujin Bamboo Sushi Mat - 9.5" X 9.5" Sushi Roller - Chef Grade Bamboo Sushi Rolling Mat - Premium Quality Sushi Mat Roller $6.88) that length makes it easier to roll.
