Making Sushi – Mold Me Or Roll Me
Making Sushi – Mold Me Or Roll Me
By Steve J Gerwig
Making sushi at home can be fun and rewarding. But learning how to roll the sushi correctly can take a bit of a learning curve.
Fortunately for the less able among us, there are plastic molds available for use in making sushi.
Most, if not all real sushi chefs, use the time honored tradition of rolling their sushi rolls with a bamboo mat or Makisu. To use a bamboo mat you need to cover it with plastic wrap in order to keep the roll together and be able to unload the mat after the roll is pressed. You also need to practice, practice and practice some more to get the rolls just right.
Believe me you will have many ugly rolls to consume before you are ready to present your rolls to guests. At least if you want to impress them with your new found sushi making skills. However there is a better way to get passable sushi rolls without the learning curve.
Introducing the sushi molds.
Looking a little like ice cube trays, they are plastic molds in the shape of the rolls. Usually in two pieces, so you can load the bottom piece with rice and sushi ingredients and use the top piece to press the rolls.
These molds are terrific time savers and produce a pretty good looking roll.
A skilled sushi chef would rather die than be caught using these molds, but if you are just getting started and want to make quick, presentable sushi rolls, give the molds a try.
