Wonderful! I use cooked salad shrimp in mine instead of crab meat - another inexpensive and safe alternative to preparing raw fish. Cream cheese is great in them too.
Fantastic! Just like I've had in many Japanese restaurants. I used smoked salmon, which was great. Make sure to dip in a mixture of soy sauce and wasabi. I doubled the recipe and my husband and I ate it three days in a row!
I'm not a big sushi fan but i've made these rolls several times for my friends and family and they absolutely love them! I also make my rice a little different, using another sushi rice recipe on this website. Also the process of making them is really fun in my opinion.
I really like this. I've been looking for the fish eggs that Sushi places use and have been trying to figure out the right recipe for cooking soft shell crab to put in my next roll. So if anyone has a clue...
Great Sushi base!! I just did my rice in a steamer and it was amazing with this recipe. Of course, being the sushi junkie that I am, I had ingredients for 6 different rolls.
I did not care for this recipe. I wish I had read the reviews BEFORE spending my time on these. I have never eaten sushi so sweet.
I've never made sushi before and this is an excellent recipe. I had no idea there is rice vinegar, sugar and salt mixed with the rice. We used avocado, cucumber, mango, shrimp and imitation crab to make a variety of rolls. I'll try adding cream cheese and thin carrot sticks in the future. My only issue was that there was not enough rice for 4 nori sheets. Other recipes also mention to leave a 1/2'' gap at the top of the nori sheet to help with rolling it up, which I will try next time. Great recipe and the family loved them.
This recipe was very simple, yet tasted so good! My whole family had it for dinner (i have a 8-year-old son) and wanted me to make it again. By far the best rice i have ever made for sushi. thank you
decent recipe.. I used long grain white rice and used 2 tbsp sugar. couldn't find avocado so I used cream cheese instead.. turned out pretty good
I'm in HEAVEN!!! Amazing and super simple! Never made these before so I wasn't very good using the bamboo mat. It was easier to roll with my fingers but I only spent a dollar for the mat on Ebay so if you have to have a mat, look there. In addition; I pushed my rice down tight onto the nori with the back of the rice spoon and I think that made it easier to roll. Also, if you use imitation crab meat, get the long pieces. You can unroll them and put them on the rice then put the other goodies on that and roll it all together. Makes for a nice presentation when you cut it too. I didn't bother with making the sauce as I prefer to just put pickled ginger, wasabi and soy on my sushi so that saved some time. If I were to have went to the grocery store(mine has pre-made sushi)and bought the equivalent to what I made I would have easily spent over $50.00! All I had to buy to make about 50 pieces was a cucumber, nori, small bag of rice, an avocado, small bag of carrots, a block of cream cheese and a $2.50 bag of imitation crab meat. (I don't follow recipes so I used more then 4 sheets of nori etc.)
Pretty darned easy and passed the reviews of my sushi-loving family! A little wasabi on the side and it's happenin'!
I'm going to agree with Mommyof2CutiePies after trying this recipe for myself. While the rice vinegar sugar mixture does make the rice taste like sushi rice rather than ordinary bland rice, it is WAY too overpowering and sweet. This was my first attempt at sushi and I thought I would try this recipe since it has such high reviews, but it has left me wondering if either everyone who rated it highly tweaked it, or if they just haven't had good sushi... Again, I wasn't expecting this to come out amazing being my first attempt, but it was simply inedible, even after a second try. I am going to research some more recipes for sushi rice and have to experiment to try to create an edible sushi roll. If you try this recipe out, I would recommend slowly adding the rice vinegar mixture a little at a time to taste. I might even cut a table spoon of sugar out of the mix. Slight tweaking of this recipe may bring it from a 2 star to at least a 4 star if not higher.
I have made it for a birthday present and as the main for my parents anniversary. They loved it.
This was a really easy recipe. I didn't add sugar and the rice was great. We added cream chse and asparagus (yum yum). The only thing we didn't care for was the imitation crab, it had no flavor. But we will definite try it again with different ingredients. Thanks
I make this as a special treat for my kids. I like it but it still lacks something that'll make it seem like the ones I get in a Japanese restaurant. Still a nice taste and super easy to put together. Just make sure to get the sushi rolling mat...it makes all the difference in making a tight and even roll.
Simple and tasty! I put a little less sugar in my rice just to cut back a bit. Crab meat is probably the easiest ingredient to come by and it tastes great in these rolls!
We love this recipe. I leave the salt out and cut the sugar in half. We fill with cucumber, carrot or avocado, and cream cheese. Delicious!
This was DELICIOUS. Just a warning it seems like a lot of vinegar but you can't even taste it!!
The tip for using tea towel to roll was perfect...saved $. I like mine spicy and added mayo and chili oil to taste(oriental section of supermarket) to the crab. EXCELLENT !! Wasabi and ginger on the side, please :) Thanks again!
It looks great! I left out the vinegar and sugar (too sweet), the cheapest rice is the best, because it is stickier.
This was really good, made it with avocado and imitation lobster, served with wasabi paste and siracha sauce on the side. Rice had great flavor and held together, rolled like a dream, even without heating the nori. We will definitely have this again.
making sushi is fun and not very hard and buying suhi is exspensive so i highly recomend trying it
can't say its the best... haven't tried any other recipe :) but it sure is fun and easy to make, tastes good too
We made these for a New Year's Eve party with a family who was gluten-free. They couldn't believe how easy these were to make and how tasty. I found out later that soy sauce has gluten in it, however, but everyone at the party loved these. They were the first things to go.
this recipe is amazing, my group decided on this recipe. ourr ice turned out a little vinergar but other than that it was amazing, thank you.
My parents pretty much like my food so I decided to take on and larger challenge! You know what people say about sushi masters! I practiced rolling sushi and eventually I became a sushi maker! I just want to say thank you to the all recipes channel for inspiring me!
This is the first time I make sushi and it was better than the restaurants! My family wants it on a weekly basis plus birthdays and holidays lol! I couldn't believe the kids loved it so much, the youngest is 4! My other son who's been eating sushi since 3 (now 10 ), also said it's the best ever! Sushi is his favorite food and he knows his stuff when it comes to sushi. He usually has 4 rolls on his own, if not more, at the restaurant and I'm so happy I found this recipe. This is cost effective and tastes amazing! The ingredient proportions were right on. Don't change a thing and follow the recipe exactly as it is, just prefect!
oh my word. I was craving sushi for the longest time and now that I've made it, IT'S SO DELICIOUS!
I was just looking for a good basic rice recipe and this worked well. There was good flavor, not overpowering at all. The only problem I had was that the bottom layer burnt to the pan. That could have been user error though.
I LOVED this recipe! I made it for a bunch of vegetarians, so I didn't use the crabmeat and I added carrot and radishes. Yum! Pickled ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi for dipping are musts!
I had no bamboo mat so I just rolled these using squares of wax paper. Just make sure the rice isn't so hot it weakens the wax paper. I'd drop my rice on it, fold the wax paper over the rice and press it out in seconds. If the shape wasn't right it was was easy to cut off, move the rice and repress. Fold the wax paper close to the rice to make a straight edge. After I rolled it up tightly I pinched the ends tightly together and chilled in the fridge for an hour or more before cutting.
This Sushi Roll recipe is too die for. I was really impressed. It was AMAZING!!! honestly, if you haven't tried this recipe you have to it is the best. It was really simple and easy instructions.
I absolutely love this recipe! I added matchstick carrots for color and extra crunch. I used Kikoman's Ponzu Sauce as a dip, just awesome! Way better Sushi than my local grocery store!
Excellent recipe. Very easy to make and it tastes like it comes from a sushi bar. I moved to a small town from a large city, and sushi is not available to me now. So, this recipe is a godsend. If I would have known that I could make sushi of this quality when I lived in the city, I would have saved a lot of money! :)
Way too much sugar, salt, and vinegar for the rice. Next time I'll try half the amount of vinegar and omit the salt and sugar entirely.
Well, I tried this and as is my way completely winged it, I had some already cooked wrong sort of rice. With the addition of the wrong vinegar (balsamic) some soy sauce fish sauce and oyster sauce with sugar mixed in I then spread the rice out on the nori then stuck a couple of fish sticks, some chopped olives, a squirt of alioli sauce then rolled it up with a tea towel. When I tried to cut it everything fell to bits. With the second nori I kept it a bit drier and it worked a bit better. But it tasted great! Oh, and I added toasted seed to it as well because it was there. This I will master with the help of the fridge before cutting and also putting less rice in before rolling! The vinegar thing is key to the taste and fish sauce (thai) added something too.
Way to much salt and sugar. I made a batch with 1 full cup of rice. Besides, already enough salt in the dipping sauce.
Today , I made sushi. It was difficult work. It is very hard to make a stable roll. I have to spend more time on rolling. It will taste very good if you put less rice and more ingredients in the roll. I think it is a good snack.
