3 Types of Sushi To Make at Home

Sushi is a wonderful Japanese dish that most everybody has heard of, and more than likely have tasted as well.  And if you are lucky, you have tasted at wonderful Sushi restaurant Temecula.

It is a wonderful traditional dish usually made with rice, sea weed, and raw fish.

Now if you don’t like fish in the first place, of course you will not like sushi.  But if you do love the taste of seafood, then you definitely will enjoy sushi.

Of course, most sushi is enjoyed in fine restaurants such as the one you can find at Sushi restaurant Lake Elsinore.You can taste and enjoy them in a Japanese style fast food restaurant.

Or you can enjoy them in more formal dining environments, like the one found at Sushi Restaurant Hemet.

Or the best way, you can eat to your heart's content with the all you can eat style.

But if you are in a creative mood, maybe you might try cooking it up yourself at home.

Well here is a brief rundown of the 3 types of sushi you can make.

First, there is the Maki sushi.  It is the usual that you are used to that consists of fish/seafood with rice that is then wrapped in nori or seaweed.  Most famous of course is the California roll

Now the Maki sushi does contain two different types within it.  There is the "fat maki" called the Futomaki and it is called fat, because it contains 2 or more of the filllings (fish/seafood)

Second is the Hosomaki or also called the "thin maki" made up of only one filling inside of fish or seafood.But it may only be a single vegetable as well.

Then there is the Nigiri sushi which is our second type of Sushi.This is another crowd favorite type of sushi which is a thin slice of raw fish placed on top of a chunk of rice that is rectangular.  There is nothing
that wraps it up such as seaweed, like the Maki sushi.

Last but not least you have the Uramaki, which is the inside out fish as it is commonly referred to.It is known as the inside out because it is exactly that, a backwards version of the Maki because the rice is on the outside of the nori rather than the inside.  Also what is inside is the fish or seafood type of fare.

There you go.3 delectable types of sushi that you make from home.

Of course, the best way to make this is to first try some at a local sushi restaurant so you can sample all 3 different styles and see how it is made and what the ingredients are.

So enjoy eating.
