It can be daunting to make sushi at home, but it is actually easier than it seems! The only thing you need is a bamboo mat, sushi rice, nori sheets and the filling. Making it at home also gives you the freedom to try different fillings.

Tips for making sushi

• Use sushi rice only- It is a short grain variety and contains a high percentage of starch which makes it so sticky.
• Don’t overstuff your sushi with the filling as it may cause it to fall apart.
• If you are handling sushi rice with your hands, make sure you wet your hands so it doesn’t stick to your hands.
• Using a sharp knife will make it easy to cut through the seaweed.
• Make sure to wet the knife before cutting sushi roll into pieces

Here are Some Fruits and Veggies that taste great as filling

• Avocado
• Cucumber
• Carrots
• Bell pepper
• Asparagus
• Sweet potato- Try sweet potato fries
• Lettuce
• Spinach
• Mushrooms
• Mango
• Strawberry
• Kiwi
• Pineapple

It is also worth noting that sushi nori has great health benefits. Nori is a type of edible seaweed and is super healthy. It is loaded with vitamin B12 and Iodine.
