Delicious sushi is loved and favored by diners all over the world, and we can make delicious sushi at home. When making sushi, the choice of tools is very important, and the most important one is the choice of sushi mat.
When choosing a sushi mat, the material and size are the key factors to consider. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. For household use, a slightly smaller sushi mat made of bamboo or plastic can be selected to effectively prevent the rice from sticking to the mat. Bamboo sushi mats are the traditional choice, being sturdy and durable, and the sushi rolled out with them is more compact. Choosing a green-colored sushi mat is more lightweight and makes cleaning easier. Different sizes of sushi mats can suit different needs. A 24×24 centimeter sushi mat is just the right size for the palm, making it easier to operate.
Now let’s learn the steps for making sushi with bamboo mats: First, prepare the materials. Place a whole sheet of seaweed on the bamboo mat, making sure the seaweed is flat without any wrinkles. Roll the seaweed inside the bamboo mat, with the rough side of the seaweed facing the bamboo mat. Next, spread the rice on the seaweed. Spread an appropriate amount of rice evenly on the seaweed. We need to ensure the rice is spread evenly and not too thick, and leave some edges of the seaweed without rice to facilitate the sealing later. The sushi rice should cover two-thirds of the entire sheet of seaweed.
Then place the ingredients on the rice: Place your favorite sushi ingredients evenly on top of the rice, such as vegetable strips, fish, crab sticks, etc. Then pull up the bamboo mat to wrap: Pull the edge of the bamboo mat close to your end. With the rice, wrap all the ingredients together. At this step, we must tighten the bamboo mat to ensure the rolled sushi is firm and not loose. Finally, roll the sushi: Gently lift the front end of the bamboo mat to avoid the bamboo mat being rolled into the sushi. Then, use the bamboo mat to press the sushi forward and roll it until the entire sushi is rolled up. Don’t forget to shape and press: Wrap the entire sushi with the bamboo mat and slightly press it to ensure the shape of the sushi is regular and the rice and ingredients are tightly combined.
After going through the above steps, we completed the process of making sushi. During this process, the sushi mat played a crucial role. When choosing a sushi mat, we should first consider our own needs and habits. For beginners in making sushi, an ordinary thin rolling mat can be selected, as it is suitable for beginners. If one has some experience in making sushi, a green bamboo mat can be considered, as it has better durability and stability.
