Making authentic sushi at home is all in the rice making process. With just a little bit of patience, you can feel like a sushi master at home, with your very own homemade hand rolls. Just do me a favor and eat them as soon as they’re rolled.

  1. i havent ate sushi for long time i feel angry we dont have good food around here my area and everything pricy

  2. Idk y Josh seems like a snakey person in real life. Saying this in the nicest way as possible

  3. Judging by the thumbnail, there's nothing authentic about this sushi. It's the sorriest sushi I've ever seen in my life and that includes the £1 ones from the supermarket.

  4. JOSH!!! SEND HELP!! What do I do if I can not find kombo where I am? Like I've looked and asked everywhere and my broke ass cant afford japanese takeout all the time sooo please pointers would be appreciated x 😐

  5. I swear, mushrooms are the "meat" of the vegetarian world.

    I'm not a vegetarian, but I do occasionally eat vegetarian dishes, and every single time there's a good portion of mushroom in them, it's just flat-out better.

  6. Extra quarter cup of water and 3-5 extra mins for the rice helps if you live 1 mile, 1.6km above sea level.
    Following recipes written for sea level pressure, then having to correct them for high altitude gets very annoying.

  7. so ive worked as at a sushi restaurant as a waiter, manager, and sushi chef and just to critique his technique: first these are not bad rolls, if its delicious and you can eat it you did well! But they are not hand rolls (te maki) these are just rolls (maki zushi). Hand rolls come out like cones and he made no effort to wrap them as such. Second his cucumbers are too big, they will over power the flavor when they are really there to add freshness and crunch to the roll. The preferred way to do it is to use your knife to skin the cucumber into a sheet, cut into sheets you can stack, and use those thin sticks to add crunch and freshness to any roll temaki or otherwise. Again Id eat it in a heartbeat but not quite what I was looking for in an instructional video on how to make hand rolls

  8. gnaaah I hate it when people just waste SO MUCH water. seriously, use your rice washing water for your plants, or your garden, or the weeds on the street. the starch from the rice is a great fertilizer. even orchids kiss your feet for it.

  9. I bought some nori and am totally intimidated by the process of making sushi! I'm thinking I'll use my cucumber and green onions to make pre-made duck with pancakes instead!!!

  10. Can we do a 'but easier' series? simplified ingredient lists, no special tools, made under 1 hr, made in 1 pot/pan etc. thank you!!!!

  11. please don't call it authentic when you're using so many ingredients no japanese would ever dream of putting into a temaki. they look really good, don't get me wrong. but they are just soooooooo far away from authentic. just saying.
    oh, but the sushizu was spot on!
    thank you for introducing the technique to the world! from japan

  12. 1 cup 240 ml rice vinegar 2 inch 2inch seaweed sheet 3 tablespoons sugar 1 table spoon and teaspoon of salt till steaming do not boil let sit for 10-15 minutes rinse short grain rice 3 times 2 cups rice/water soak 15 minutes in rice cooker 2 cups rice 0.5 sushi zu scatter and gather rice twice leave warm in rice cooker

  13. For those complaining that this isn’t for everyone!!! You can cook rice in a pressure cooker. I do it all the time for my sushi and so do a lot of restaurants I’ve been to. You don’t NEED a wooden bowl and spoon for the rice. You can literally just use any large bowl. You don’t NEED to use kombu. You don’t NEED sushi grade fish. You can cook whatever fish you can that you would like. There’s nothing wrong with cooked fish sushi no matter what people like to tell you. And you DEFINITELY don’t need crab. Just get imitation!!

  14. he made it more complicated than it is. never told us how to make the nori stick to itself…. also flew through the procedures. this is one bad video.

  15. Okay, I need to know how you cut those cucumbers. Whenever I try to thin slice cucumbers like that, they get all limp since they’re so thin. How did you make yours stay crispy?

  16. Sashimi or sushi grade is more of marketing thing than any actual benefit. There's no difference there than buying a thing of salmon or tuna at the store yourself.

    Though double check on that because my research I did was pretty quick maybe 30 minutes total.

  17. There is no such thing as sashimi grade or sushi grade fish, some grocery chains will advertise it but it's not a real classification or a federally held standard. It's essentially a buzzword marketing term and what you want is previously frozen fish if you intend to make sushi with it while raw. Most fish caught and sold in the USA is flash frozen by the same vessel its caught by and the label should have previously frozen on it. Farm raised fish is especially a lot safer than wild caught to consume raw. If unsure you should freeze your fish by the recommended FDA standards based on your freezer temperature (1 week at or below -4 Degrees °F ). Tuna is also a lot less likely to contain parasites than other fish.

  18. love the video, but had to dislike for the "Social Distancing" comment, that one was one of your most ignorant comments lol.

  19. If you have a rice cooker, an instant pot will work, so will just a pot on the stove. I use my Instantpot. I don't have a mat, or the special rice bowl. I kind of make white trash sweet potato sushi since i dont have good quality fish where I live. It works 😂

  20. No what ass boy like you needs to be trying to make some white ass people sushi and call it "authentic" Only authentic thing about it is how white you are.

  21. i’m just using fish eggs, avocado, and crab meat with sesame seeds and it tastes really good. You don’t need all of those fancy ingredients!
