Sushi making is one of my current obsessions. I am scarcely a padawan as sushi cooks go, but I’m having so much fun.
I recently learned how to assemble classic rolls. I then taught my 13-year-old, and we had priceless father-son time as we rolled up a storm on several occasions.
My wife and I got together with two other couples for a sushi-making — and, as it turned out, merengue-dancing —evening not long ago, which was the most fun I’ve had in a while.
Tonight, I attempted something new: inside-out rolls, with the rice on the outside of the nori seaweed sheets instead of on the inside. I was a bit apprehensive, but this turned out to be a breeze.
The fantastic site I’ve been using for instruction and inspiration (which is deservedly the first hit when Googling “how to make sushi”) is “Make my Sushi: Sushi Making Explained” — highly recommended.
