My Sushi Operation.

[MegasquirtCA]

So I decided I want to learn to make Sushi. Was at Borders and picked up one of those How to books. Lots of great info so I set out on my quest to my local fish market and Asian Market. Had to pick up a lot of JDM stuff to be legit :rice

These are my supplies. I got my Nori, Kombu, Masago, Gari, Wasabi, Sushi Vinegar, Japanese Mayonaise, Chilli Sauce, Sesame Seeds, Fillet of Sushi Tuna and Salmon. I plan on making some Spicy Tuna Rolls, Tuna Rolls, Salmon Rolls, California Rolls, Tuna Nigiri.

Well we always bought from this Local Fish Market before. They're one of the best and funny you should say Sushi Grade they label that Tuna "Sushi Tuna" :keke:

[MegasquirtCA]

Damnit i was hoping for the full writeup!


This is my first attempt so I doubt a write up will be any time. If you go on youtube theirs quite a bit of videos. I'll post up pics of my rolls though.

[punk138]

i want sushi now, dam you fast food!

[shishcabobers]

lol so much fun making those. I like making spam masubi's:keke:

[Charlie]

SRIRACHA FTW( the chili sauce) . Damn I wish sushi place by my house is still open. Btw i never heard of people using SRIRACHA on sushi before.
^ Man I use to have to make so many spam masubi's when i worked at a Hawaiian grill place^

[BustedS13]

things that should exist but don't

-24 hour chinese drivethru
-24 hour subway/quiznos/jimmy johns drivethru
-24 hour sushi drivethru

why am i forced to make my own meal or eat garbage after like 9pm

[808_s13]

into making crunchy rolls and spyder rolls.

bomby

If you want to make a spicy mayo sauce, just mix mayo with
sriracha sauce, and a little wasabi.

Be sure that fish is fresh. I always get my salmon and tuna from
Costco.

[touge240monster]

i used to be a sushi chef, wrap your bamboo in plastic wrap, will save you a lot of annoying rice buildup. First and foremost have fun and enjoy what you eat, who gives a shit if it looks like crap. Get a nice knife too, i had a $800 knife but thats obviously not necessary, just something straight edged and sharp as shit. For some bomb spicy tuna sauce use sriracha, jap mayo, chili powder aka shichimi, and some red pepper flakes.

[shishcabobers]

SRIRACHA FTW( the chili sauce) . Damn I wish sushi place by my house is still open. Btw i never heard of people using SRIRACHA on sushi before.
^ Man I use to have to make so many spam masubi's when i worked at a Hawaiian grill place^

at least you know, it wasn't me that was ordering them :keke:

[Tops*]

that chili sauce is fireee!

[Vision Garage]

sriracha is the asian tapatio!! So how much did all the supplys cost Mega?

[MegasquirtCA]

for everything you see including the fish I think I spent about $60.00 It was like $35 for the Sushi supplies and about $30 for the Fish, and Crab. Yes I got crab too.

Im probably gonna go to the market to pick up scallions/green onion and some other veggies.

[LeftNutOfGowd]

MMMMMMMMMMMMM sushi the shit lol

Get some shrimp and some more crab and make some crunch rolls

[exitspeed]

Can't wait to see how things turn out.

The wife and I are planning on venturing into sushi making sometime soon.

[murda-c]

my sister goes through "rooster sauce" like crazy.

she puts it on everything

i almost put cocksauce there.

[JayDee M Rolly]

i should look into this, i spend too much on sushi lol

[Future240]

Seems interesting, hope that meat is clean, otherwise :barf:

[exitspeed]

We have a place called Empire Fish (http://207.56.189.2/a/Retail.aspx) that is off the chain for fresh fish here in Milwaukee. They actually have a whole sushi section. This places supplies all our local restaurants. So it's the same stuff I'd get AT the sushi joint.

[MegasquirtCA]

I made too much rice.

yea my presentation sucks but it does taste good.

[MegasquirtCA]

Im having issues with my knife its not sharp enough so its dragging the rolls. Thats why the rolls arent as tight.

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii271/pumaallstar/Sushi/IMG_2465.jpg

[ALTRNTV]

You should venture into more intricate sushi:
baby lobster roll, spider roll, mango roll, scallop roll, etc.

Were you seriously watching a how-to video? :bigok:

[MegasquirtCA]

Hells yea I was watching a how to video. Worked out pretty good. Now I got too much rice I dont know what to do with.

[ALTRNTV]

Make more sushi?

[HyperTek]

man.. i could take care of that rice problem.. im filipino, ill eat it with fried spam, eggs, and sriracha (sp?) sauce

[MegasquirtCA]

Make more sushi?


Im running out of fish.

[airsoft]

***Ok so the "sushi grade" fish mentioned above...

Is it safe... to eat straight raw tuna from the waters of Baja Mexico area.

My friends drive south of the boarder, and hire a boat to take them out for the day and come home w/ mass amounts of tuna or whatever... and they slice that up and eat it raw...

Safe or not Safe?!

[ALTRNTV]

The fish I usually get are cultured and farm-raised,
not sea-water.

[MegasquirtCA]

Just made some California Rolls.


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii271/pumaallstar/Sushi/IMG_2474.jpg

[Future240]

Fuck i want one of those

[airsoft]

OOOoooOh damn... I'm goign to die...

[nissanKLR]

i cant make sushi for shit, but i love eating it

[MegasquirtCA]

6 more Cali Rolls. I definatly need a sharper knife, mines dragging and collapsing my sushi.


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii271/pumaallstar/Sushi/IMG_2476.jpg

[ALTRNTV]

You need a knife that is sharp enough to cut the roll
in one motion, and not using a sawing motion. Same goes
for cutting the fish.

[MegasquirtCA]

Yup the Wolfgang Puck knives I got suck. Im already looking at some Global Sushi Knives. A set of 3 for about $160.00.

[JayDee M Rolly]

man.. i could take care of that rice problem.. im filipino, ill eat it with fried spam, eggs, and sriracha (sp?) sauce
Filipino's will take care of of that rice problem in a flash. (yes i am too)

good stuff man, looks good.

[YoungGun]

Nice job.

[lflkajfj12123]

[Erjay1]

[MegasquirtCA]

ease up there killer



These rolls are thick rolls so they use quite a bit of rice.

[MegasquirtCA]

Thanks for the comments peeps, it definatly was a lot of fun. Probably next week Im gonna try out some of my favorite ingredients like Unagi mmmmm Unagi.

[MegasquirtCA]

Damn thats crazy.

[francogt1]

There's a crap load of rice in this thread!

[fromxtor]

My wife made sushi a few times I couldnt find a bamboo roll around here, so she put the seaweed on the outside. As opposed to between the rice and fish.

[alindeman1989]

Man i hella want sushi now. Good job for a first time.

[MegasquirtCA]

There's a crap load of rice in this thread!


I see what you did there :barfkiss:

[DreamN]

Not bad Julian. I've been tinkering with the idea of my girl and I just making our own.

[P_856]

damn i can go for some right now i might start making my own too after seeing this thread

[spikNspan]

make fried rice with the extra rice, duh!

[SlideWell]

wow, those look great for a first timer! i wanna come to your place when i move back to FL ;)

[SW20Racer]

f you need a crash course 80's movie montage style learning experience, go to youtube and search for "cooking with dog".

its a french poodle and his human slave, and they teach you to make JDM foods.

[Tearlessj]

I ono man, everytime I make sushi. After all the materials, clean up time and work just to eat. I sometimes think its a better idea to pay the $25-30 buck and get full right away. Still fun to do every now and then.

[stiizy]

man.. i could take care of that rice problem.. im filipino, ill eat it with fried spam, eggs, and sriracha (sp?) sauce

That's what i eat fro breakfast on the weekends

make fried rice with the extra rice, duh!

and add Chinese sausage and some garlic with egg!!!

Hmmmmm i'm hungry now

[dirtdiggler666]

you guys are making me so fucking hungry:madfawk:

[spikNspan]

you guys are making me so fucking hungry:madfawk:

I agree, starving right now!

[aziankingz]

looks good man.. but less rice and more filling..the knife needs to be sharper too so it doesnt look all out of place..
