    Don't throw away the salmon skin! Lightly season it with salt then pan fry to crispy and cut it strips when cooled down. Makes amazing taste/crunch in any sushi roll.

    Another way you can tell if the fish isn't fresh is that it will feel a little slimey. It shouldn't feel slimey at all.

      Sunken in eyes on a whole fish are a bad thing also. That indicates the fish is over 72 hours old.

      my salmon was a little slimey but i thought it was simply the fat because my hands got a bit oily after i cut it and it tasted great

    For those who can't get their hands on Eel: Take catfish instead.
    Grill it without seasoning (cover it with just a bit of sake to make it tender) on high heat, remove it (not completely cooked) add mirin, soy sauce, sake and a bit of fish stock to the pan and reduce it.
    (You get something similar to a unagi sauce). Put it on lower heat, add the fish again.
    This is a simple alternative to unagi eel.

  • @MisterFuturtastic
    @MisterFuturtastic 7 років тому +129

    Sushi pro tip - when you are cutting the sushi rolls... get a little cup with water and put some of the juice from your pickled ginger in there. Then you take your knife... slide the tip into the little bowl of pickled ginger juice.. then tip the handle of the knife down so it is lower then the tip... a tiny bit of ginger juice will slide down the knife blade edge if done right. That lubricates the knife when cutting sushi rolls.

      I ve never learn how to make sushi or make really any sushi. how come the rice u use looked over cooked with too much water and why do u sprinkle or add too much water on ur hand? how would this keep the seaweed crunchy with extra sprinkling of water over the rice and seaweed as u dipped ur hands in more water to moisten the rice over the seaweed? and why do u say the same thing as 1000000x other people: "boom" after cutting to show the product?

    I have made sushi many times before, and even took a one day class once, but it has been a while, so I did a quick video search on youtube, and wham, you popped up on my computer screen. I think its because I had recently watched one of your brothers fermentation videos, but this was the first time I watched one of your videos. It was well explained, and pretty easy to follow. You have a nice soothing voice and a gentle way of explaining things, and I liked your occasional funny sounds and goofy voice effects that you sprinkled about the video. Thanks for the sushi review lesson. Keep making fun videos like this and I'll keep watching. You are also cute to watch.

    Great beginner's guide! Sushi should be accessible to everyone. I was taught traditional techniques with traditional ingredients but that doesn't mean you can't do your own thing. About the rice, you add the vinegar seasoning to hot rice and fan it to ensure a beautiful glossy appearance. But if you don't have the time or patience, it won't affect the taste LOL.

    Nice guide. One thing I'd like to add about fish for sushi- if you doubt its freshness, or simply don't want to eat raw fish, just cured fish. It takes from a couple of hours to....well as long as you want and as salty/seasoned as you want, but in general 2 hours is enough to make nice thin slices of lightly cured salmon(or any other fish you may have in stock)

  • @justforyou2424
    @justforyou2424 6 років тому

    nice! what I would have done is less rise and more veggie and fish (by flatting the rice). You have a great knife and the way I do it is using olive oil or the grease of the fish (when baked) to keep it cutting smooooth and also good for not sticking to your hands. Always make sushi saus for inside the sushi! that is a must..(or if you don't like it ok). last tip, when you roll stop just before it hits the rice and push it back to squeeze everything together and continue to roll it (if you made it thick use foil to cover the sushi roll and let is sit for 3 to 5 min).

      Llewelyn Moss: I'm not exactly being negative. I just happen to know that the knife isn't all it's hyped up to be. Of course, it's free stuff. Doubt it's actually from Japan despite the writing on the side. Except for the way they put the edge on it, instead of a more traditional western kitchen knife it only has a single bevel typical for Asian style kitchen knives.
      If you have a decent kitchen knife, this isn't going to do you any favours. It's only going to make sharpening difficult (and impossible if you only have sharpening tools for western style knives). Unless you use sharpening stones, but not a lot of people have those laying around unless they're chefs (or knife collectors).
      Just saying, the hype for Japanese things is completely unnecessary.

    well for bigger rolls you use the entire sheet.
    and if you want to do a easy roll use a sushi bazooka, you will nail it almost every time.
    {this is the method i prefer, you get picture quality sushi, without the hassle of rolling it yourself}

    If you can't find actual 'small grain' sushi rice, I've had success with Kokuho Rose sushi rice which says it is 'medium grain'. I was concerned but my rolls came out excellent. Also if you have a local Asian market store near you, often these items are a lot cheaper than on Amazon, at least where I live. Plus support your local small business. Thanks for this vid. Fun stuff!

    To cut the maki more properly,, place the end of the blade (nearest the handel) on top of the maki,, slide the blade backwards towards yourself whilsts applying a balanced downward pressure all the way until you reach the tip of the blade.. The idea is that you want to cut the maki in one go,, never having to go over it twice..
    That's how I saw sushi masters do it in Japan..

    • @mistermatsuda
      @mistermatsuda 6 років тому +1

      Yes, it should be one stroke from the heel to tip - that's why they make sushi/sashimi knives so long. Otherwise there will be minute ridges that sushi snobs will dock you for.

    I made sushi about a week ago for the first time. Cool how close this video came out to that. I am glad though, nothing that I watched or read to prepare me talked about the correct way to have your seaweed or about the roasted and unroasted :) also the wet paper towel on the rice is a good idea! I use cardboard with wrap instead of the bamboo mat. It worked really well.
    Excited to see if I will learn anything else in part 2! I really like inside out rolls. Feels like magic making them.

    Pink pickled ginger is usually made by pickling very young ginger. It's pretty obvious which ones are fake just by looking but the ingredients list will always tell you. If you really want to avoid dyes go for the yellow. It's just as good without the risk

    I just wanted to add a little thing here that might help new people watching this, if you do get fresh salmon run your hands along it to find the pinbones and use clean tweezers to remove them. Will prevent a guest getting a crunch when they bite in, or dulling your knife. :)

    You could maybe cool the rice seasoning beforehand to induce a really fast rice cooling. Just not have it frozen ofcourse. But it might be possible to avoid fanning.

    The prepackaged pickled ginger comes in pink and in no added colour. Maybe it's only me, but I think the kind with no colour is less sweet and more sour.

    How long should I freeze the fish for? I've heard that it depends on the temperature of the freezer you're using, but I'm not quite sure.
