Home | Food and Recipes | How to Make Sushi at Home: A Beginner’s Guide

Written By Mason Christopher Howard


Making sushi at home can be a fun and rewarding experience, allowing you to customize your rolls to your exact tastes. To start, you’ll need a few essential ingredients and tools: sushi rice, nori (seaweed), fresh fish (like tuna or salmon), vegetables (such as cucumber and avocado), and a bamboo mat for rolling. First, cook the sushi rice and let it cool while seasoning it with a mix of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Lay a sheet of nori on the bamboo mat, spread the rice thinly over it, leaving a small border at the top. Add your fillings, then carefully roll the sushi, pressing gently to seal the edge. Once rolled, slice into bite-sized pieces. Experiment with different fillings, and you’ll be ready to enjoy homemade sushi in no time!
