Wow it’s been a long time since I’ve posted a sushi recipe! First I was studying abroad, and then I was having such a busy summer- I haven’t had any time to update the site at all! I’m back into it now, though, and I’m excited to be announcing a new feature:

How to Make Sushi is now accepting recipe submissions! Did you make some fantastic sushi and you want to tell the world about it? Take a couple pictures of it and a create a brief write-up and send it to submit@howtomakesushiathome.com and I’ll feature it on the site. Make sure to include your author details and a link to your blog or website too, so I can credit you!

Also, if you have any requests or suggestions for recipes to be featured on the site, send them along to me and I’ll do my best to make them happen. Keep an eye out for your favorite sushi rolls here on the side—->

Got a new camera, and I’m home for the holiday, so I’ll be making sushi and taking lots of pictures!

I know it’s been months since I posted, and I’m sorry for the delay, but college is really time-consuming and I..frankly, got lazy. I made quite a bit of sushi but nothing worth sharing, since it was mostly California Rolls en masse for parties and whatnot.

I have some lovely tuna now though, so I plan to try making spicy tuna rolls very soon, which means I’ll also make Japanese mayo for the first time as well. Yippee!

I finally experimented for the first time with how to make nigiri sushi. I’ve been having a lot of trouble getting rice to the right consistency to form into balls. I think I got it alright though. I’m gonna upload a post about making the nigirizushi as soon as I get the photos off my camera, although frankly, there’s not much to see. It’s just as simple as cutting the fish into thin strips and placing it on the properly sized and formed rice balls.

Anyway, sorry for the long lag between posts (if I actually have any readers). I’ll be posting the instructions for nigiri soon!
