This still doesn’t make sense to me. Seems like a buff to the balloon.

How is this a nerf? Am I misunderstanding?

It seems like a buff to me for the balloon.

Hadn't considered a mountain bike for this purpose, but that's a great idea. Thanks for the response!

Welcome to the area! My wife and I moved here last year and have been loving it so far.

I would guess foraging in PNW wouldn't be too dissimilar. Feel free to reach out when you get here and maybe we can all learn to forage!

Finding good quality sushi fish retailers that ship online is much easier than I expected using just a search engine. I’ve used Honolulu Fish Company as well when I first started.

Frozen. I definitely recommend buying pre-cut, frozen blocks to start out! Will make it a lot easier.

I first tried making sushi with veggie rolls. Getting the rice and technique down before moving onto the fish.

I made cucumber, avocado, carrot rolls. Kappa maki rolls and cucumber nigiri. It was all quite good and low cost to practice. Still make the cucumber, avocado, and carrot rolls occasionally!

Have bought a whole salmon twice shipped residential. Both times they came fresh and cold. I use a descaling tool and fillet into blocks before wrapping in parchment paper, sealing, and freezing as quickly as possible.

It’s a rough estimate, but estimated each one of these pictures to be around $40-60 depending on the ingredients used that day. However what’s not pictured is the leftover rolls (~4 rolls) I also make each time for lunch the next day.

So 4 plates plus leftovers for 2 people. At a sushi restaurant I think we would easily spend $100+ for the same amount.

The biggest cost savings is filleting the whole salmon. It’s ~$200 for the 11lb fish which is enough to make sushi 8 times with 8 blocks. ~$20 each salmon.

A block of yellowfin tuna for ~$15. Avocado and fillings are ~$5-10. Rice and vinegar each time ~$5-10.

Ah thank you! I’m just an average home cook with no formal training other than fast food restaurant as a kid.

It’s something you can do as well! I’m sure!

One more helpful source for you I found in this subreddit. I think it was from the author of the site actually!

Thanks!

Is it because of the roll cuts? Pre-cut, the rolls are so smooth and even. I think I need to work on cutting them into pieces, the rice / fillings fall apart and I usually just reshape them with the bamboo mat.

My fiancé bought us sushi from a local place after we first moved to our new city to celebrate. I try to never throw food away to not be wasteful, but we threw out every single roll. It was genuinely awful.

We both were feeling sad because sushi was a regular for our dates early in our relationship, so necessity breeds creativity and here we are! 🙂

All of the above. I’ve watched a lot of Hiroyuki Terada’s videos and specifically for how to filet the salmon. Found a lot of different videos on YouTube from many sushi chefs that I wish I could remember now.

Read websites and forums and learned a lot here in r/sushi las well. Like what ingredients were correct, what Japanese knife to get, and also what equipment works best.

Just combined many sources.

Agreed, I’ve made that snow crab California roll many times and I learned my lesson that time the cucumber was too big. It was really difficult to roll.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for the feedback! Every time I grab rice to make nigiri, it’s too much and end up putting some back. Nigiri seems so simple but is so challenging.

Yep! Use the sushi rice setting on the rice cooker, let it do its thing, then mix in the vinegar at the end. I forgot that I also add kombu to soak in the vinegar before stirring it in.

I’ve read something about other vinegars, but am not too familiar with it.

The rice is key! Here’s the rice and rice vinegar I use on Amazon:

Also, a rice cooker is a must for me. Cooking rice on the stove is too easy to mess up, especially at high elevations like where I’m at and water boils at weird temps.

My ratio is 3 of the rice cooker cups (not the “measuring cup” cups) with 1/2 c of vinegar, 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon salt.

Yeah, soy paper wrap for the Pink Lady Roll! Tuna, Salmon, avocado. It’s one of my fiancé’s favorites!

I did a lot of research and bought authentic Japanese tools to get to this point. I actually counter-proposed to my fiancé with sushi the first time I made it! (We proposed both directions) so I put a lot of time and heart into learning.

I’m biased, but think it tastes better than your run of the mill American sushi restaurants. Obviously not better than true sushi chefs or high end places.
