making sushi brownbear

Nice. You've motivated me try again now

A sharper blade and rice cooked a little less and you got this

20:31

also maybe a better nori

yes you're right ! and I added too much rice oil so next time less of that

sushi can be very fun to make

it's very satisfying to roll sushi brownbear

fwiw I never have any oil in my sushi zu

20:33

rice vinegar, salt and sugar. oil would make it hard to roll I think

oh yeah I meant rice vinegar not rice oil. I mixed it up

20:35

it was very cool to see that how the seasoned rice vinegar adds all the dimension to the rice.

You can experiment a lot with how you season the rice btw, sesame seeds, powdered dashi or chopped umeboshi are all very interesting add-ins

ooh seems like @Learath2 is experienced with sushi

Different vinegars also work, though balsamic doesn't work that well, too sweet for it, maybe for a meat filled sushi it could work

ah wow thanks for the insight, I will surely experiment alot!!

Souly

ooh seems like @Learath2 is experienced with sushi

I spent quite some time trying to learn how to make sushi

Making temaki is the best way to feel good about your rolling, impossible to roll temaki wrong

oh wow it's like a ice-cone out of sushi, how weird haha yeah that's should be pretty straightforward

You don't even need to roll it in a cone if you don't feel like it, honestly unless I'm feeding other people I don't bother rolling and cutting

do you even need a sushi mat for that?

Nope \o/

20:43

The temaki I've had back in japan were also mostly rolled straight btw

I have to ask 2 things since you seem to know so much (about rice) 1) do you make sure the water is completely clear or do you allow it to be a bit foggy 2) do you first cook it hot and let it simmer on low temperature or first simmer and then hot? (edited)

I leave it a tad foggy. If you get it completely clean like when making turkish rice it doesn't really stick that well

20:47

Adam Liaw has a decent video in cooking rice in the asian style and so does Joshua Weisman

20:48

The summary is wash rice, add rice to pot, add water, get it to boil, lower to a simmer, stop when water is gone

20:49

Couple tricks to getting the rice perfect. Add a towel to the lid so the steam doesn't drip back down on the rice too much. After turning the flame off let the rice rest and steam a bit

cool! thanks for the useful tips, can't wait to apply in next attempts!!

honestly there is one big secret to perfect rice every time
