do you knoe what they do to the seaweed so it doesn't break? cuz like seeweed comes hard right? and easy to break, i aunt told me to wet the seaweed, but how do i do it?

[sushimonsters]

oops i accidentally deleted your last response... sorry about that :[ :[ :[

the type of sushi paper you're supposed to buy is nori. maybe you can ask if you can't read it. how did your sushi experience go? better? :)

[VincentSkatingBboy]

Is there any way to prepare the fish? Or do you go all out raw? Cuz every time I buy Raw fish from my super market, it doesn't taste like what it does at a sushi restaurant.

[sushimonsters]

generally it is all out raw, but yes, quality varies. hopefully soon we will be able to post a tutorial on how to choose fish for you, but for now you can either... 1) buy a whole fish and learn how to cut it (a bit hard); 2) pick non-fish varieties of nigiri, like the egg, vegetarian varieties, or cooked varieties, like crab & shrimp; 3) suffer with inferior fish :[

I like how your vids are simple and explanitory. Much less complicated than some of the intro's I've recieved.

actually x]

if the rice is softening your seaweed almost immediately after contact.. there are two possible problems... first... your seaweed is too cheap... second, your rice is too wet (either w/ su or w/ water)

i work w/ packs of 50 sheets of nori that are like $50 per pack. i believe it's from yamasho; chuuka grade. and it takes 'alot' to get the nori even moist from contact w/ rice.

That is really nice, keep it up!

[Someone95x]

nice

[xxxbAkuxxx]

It's good... Nigiri is really difficult. It needs a lot of care and practice...

[lLoveRainingDays]

it was ok ^^ but the rice was too wet
