Sushi

How easy is it to make sushi at home and what ingredients do I need?

It's really fiddly. I know because I've seen it being made, and because lots of the ingredients eg tuna are eaten raw they have to be of the very best quality and this is why Japanese food in a restaurant is so expensive. You can buy it ready-prepared in Tesco. Wouldn't that be easier?!

There is an American website that deals with making sushi at home. Try http://mysushichef.com/start.htm

FROM: SUSHI CHEF First of all the fish has to be fresh and stomach part is the best. You also need a really sharp knife and when you slice the fish it has to be one cut and all the way through. for the rice you need Japanese rice and a bit more water than usual when you cook them in a rice cooker after that you need to mix the rice with a bit of Japanese Vinegar and hot sake. Don't press the fish to hard agaist the rice just put it on or gently press. Real Japanese soy sauce and a little Wasabi that is powder, mix it with water then put it in soy sauce. Then you don;t need to go to restaurant for sushi. For the fish anything is fine as long as it is fresh. Recommended: Hamachi (Yellow Tail), Toro ( Fatty Tuna), Sake ( Salmon ) and Uni ( Sea Urchin ) Thank you and enjoy
