Best Sushi Makers

The Yomo Sushi Maker offers one of the easiest ways to make a variety of different sushi rolls in 4 simple and quick steps: 

For scrumptious homemade sushi, using a good rolling tool might not be enough. To make your rolls perfectly-shaped, tight and consistent just like those served at a restaurant, you also need to use good rice. So, here, when selecting rice, you need to consider its stickiness. Yet, try to avoid glutinous or sweet rice, which is considered to be too sticky; this might give your sushi the taste of gum. Rather than that, any short or medium-grain rice should work. Next, pay attention to how rice grains look, what their color is. Look for rice grains of white color with no gray speckles or glume. Avoid using instant, long-grained and parboiled rice. Brown rice isn't appropriate for use, in spite of its delicious taste and numerous health benefits.

No doubt, the best way to choose nori sheets is to actually feel and smell how elastic and flavorful they are. However, this might not be easy to do, considering that most nori sheets are sold packed and sealed. Buying online is same tricky, for there's no chance for you to smell or touch it either. Therefore, it's important that you follow several guides that should help you pick what you need. Typically, nori falls into 4 main categories, classified according to its taste, flavor, texture and elasticity: Green, Red, Silver, and Gold. Green and Red nori are of the lowest quality. Though eatable, the nori sheets of this kind are too thick and lack a distinct flavor. An excellent choice for sushi is Gold nori sheets. These are dark green to black seaweeds with a slight golden tint. They are very elastic and will enhance the taste of your sushi by giving it a delicate flavor. If the category hasn't been specified on the pack, check the color of nori. The lower the category is, the lighter the seaweed sheets color will be. Finally, avoid buying nori with an almost expired shelf life. The sheets will be too dry and you won’t be able to wrap anything in them. 

Cooking rice for sushi is done best if you use a rice cooker. Those who haven't got a rice cooker can cook rice in a traditional way, yet, following some simple steps would be required.

1. Thoroughly rinse rice with plenty of water until up the time the water becomes clear. 

2. Soak rice in cold water for 15-30 minutes and drain the water. 

3. Add clean water to your rice in the amount of 250 ml per 200 g of rice and bring it to the boil. Once boiled, slack the fire or reduce the temperature and keep steaming rice within the next 15 minutes (until rice grains fully absorb water). 

4. Cover the pan with a lid, wrap it in a towel and let rice stand for another 10-15 minutes. 

Before cooking, put a small piece of nori in the pan to give your rice a delicate sea flavor. 

Having the Susheizi at your home kitchen, professional round sushi won't be a prerogative of restaurant chefs anymore and you will be able to experiment with ingredients to your own choice.

However, your Susheizi is much more versatile and therefore suitable for a variety of desserts too, inducing you to experiment and realize your boldest culinary ideas and cravings. No kid will refuse walnut rolls, fudge or cake rolls, biscuit cookies or crunchy rice rolls with caramel or chocolate. The Susheizi will work for everyone and offers countless cooking options! 

Heart-shaped sushi looks stunning and appealing. Most of you wouldn't believe that making such rolls is not only easy but also real, right in your home kitchen, thanks to the fancy rolling molds coming with the SushiAya kit. All you need is to put a seaweed sheet into one of the trays and cover it with rice. Make a groove in the middle of rice to add there your favorite filling. Some of the popular fillings are smoked salmon, fake crab, canned tuna, avocado, cucumbers, pepper, omelet, and cheese. Now, spread one more layer of rice on top of the filling and stick the ends of the nori sheet together. Put a heart-shaped mold on top of your roll and press it. That's it!

Following the roll cutter slots, carefully cut your sushi roll and press it once again. Take off the roll cutter and lay your sushi out on a plate. Add some wasabi, soy sauce, and pickled ginger and enjoy your fabulous freshly made heart-shaped sushi! 

Heart-shaped sushi is a great idea for a meal to serve for romantic dinner. It can also add a special zest to any party, bringing some change to the food you usually have with family or friends.

To give your sushi rice a distinctive sushi-like flavor, it’s necessary to season rice with a special dressing. Actually, it’s a simple blend of rice vinegar, salt, and sugar. For 500g of rice, mix 2 tablespoons of vinegar with one teaspoon of sugar and salt respectively. Heat the vinegar blend to dissolve sugar and salt. To prevent oxidizing, it's better if you use a ceramic cookware and a wooden spatula or a paddle. Once cooked, cool the dressing and add it to the warm rice. Stir rice very carefully so that its texture and consistency remain the same.

Learning how to roll perfect sushi with a mat is an art that commonly takes a lot of time and practice. To help you master this skill and make restaurant-quality sushi at home, below, we will give several useful recommendations and instructions to follow. 

Before you start rolling, prepare all the tools and ingredients to have everything at hand and avoid the mess. Check that your sushi mat and hands are clean and dry. Put a nori sheet right in the center of the mat glossy side down. Evenly spread a ball of rice over the nori and add your favorite filling. 

Hold the edge of the mat with your thumbs and start rolling. Make sure to keep the filling in place and tuck the first edge of the nori sheet into the roll. Remove the mat edge and continue rolling, tightly pressing the roll. When you roll sushi for the first time, it’s easier to make a square-shaped roll since getting round shape by means of the mat requires some skills and practice. 

Measuring cups will come in handy to get the ideal consistency of your sushi rice. These simple kitchen accessories will help you get an appropriate rice to water ratio every time. 

Sushi is always served with soy sauce. It helps emphasize the flavor of ingredients and adds a certain zest to the whole ritual of eating sushi. Yet, choosing a soy sauce does require some consideration, for, unfortunately, there's a big number of counterfeit and low-quality products on the modern market that you can come across. In order to not go wrong with the sauce, make sure to consider its color. It should be light-brown. All species that look a deeper color close to darkish aren't good and more likely chemically made. A premium-quality soy sauce never contains peanuts; if you opt for the sauce with some flavorings like ginger or garlic, you should be able to clearly see them in the sauce. Don't buy sauce packed in plastic containers. Good soy sauce should come in glass bottles. The price for the sauce will also tell you of its quality. Good sauce isn't cheap.
