Cheapest way to make homemade sushi?!
Answers: can anyone tell me how to make good sushi at home at a reasonable price?
ingredients: sushi rice
3 cups japanese-style cooked rice
3/4 cup rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
roasted nori
Procedure: Cook rice according to package instructions.
Mix vinegar, sugar and salt.
Cut vinegar mixture into cooked rice until well combined.
To roll sushi you can use a bamboo sushi mat, or just use a clean towel instead, or you can even forgo the roller and just carefully roll using your hands.
Place nori sheet on roller and spread a thin layer of the sushi rice over the nori.
Place your filling in a center line on the nori sheet.
Begin rolling by carefully folding over the top edge and starting the roll.
Continue to roll, keeping the roll as tight as possible.
Take a sharp knife and slice the roll into 1- 1 1/2 inch pieces.
Some Possible Sushi Filling Combos----------.
Once you have your layer of rice on the nori sheet, try some of these ingredient combos.
Mix and match to suit your taste.
Things like thinly sliced cucumber or carrots and radish sprouts are good general ingredients to add to all kinds of rolls.
Spicy Tuna Roll-- Sushi grade raw tuna, minced and mixed with a small amounts of mayonnaise, oriental style hot sauce and sesame oil and served with radish sprouts.
California Roll-- Imitation crab meat, mayonnaise and avocado.
Salmon& Asparagus (one of my personal creations)-- Leftover cooked salmon (grilled tastes best) with an blanched asparagus spear and a small amount of mayonnaise mixed with oriental hot sauce.
Veggie-- Thinly julienned strips of cucumber, carrot and zucchini with avocado slices and sprouts.

If you are in the US, the cheapest way to have a variety of sushi is to go to any supermarket and buy them already sliced, packed with wasabi and soy sauce. Unless you are making sushi for a crowd, you will be left with a lot of bits and pieces of shrimp, crabsticks, fish, etc. And you have to buy wasabi and soy sauce separately.
Buy the rice and seaweeds... cook and put any kind of fruit, veggie or fish inside the roll... don't forget wasabi.... and enjoy :)
make vegetable sushi rather than a meat sushi. Buying sushi-grade seafood is very expensive. Instead, use fake snow crab meat (surimi) and used cooked shrimp or fish to make it.
The sushi rice is Calrose rice. It's relatively easy to find in most supermarkets. If you stick with the veggie sushi it's cheaper. However, you can put smoked salmon in there and it's super tasty.
