Let me preface this by saying that I’m a complete noob at making sushi. Love eating sushi, but when it comes to rolling maki or making nigiri…let’s just say it was probably better that I paid someone else to do it.
Back in New Jersey, mom made California rolls now and then and she had the method down pat. I remember happily wolfing down piece after piece back in the day. My experiences rolling maki? Not so good. I used too much rice, I didn’t keep my hands moist, I overstuffed the roll and well, you get the picture. Think of a roll that looks like a lumpy potato in the middle =/
But, I decided to try making nigiri and it actually turned out well. Got the roommate to cut the fish while I rolled up the rice. The rice wasn’t the best, probably should tweak the sauce mixture a little bit, but it turned out alright as a few friends and I gobbled up every piece!
And the best part of it was getting the fish itself. I drove it back from New Jersey in a cooler =P
P.S. The title has nothing to do with the similarly named arcade game.
