this is what I use for sushi or any other japanese dishes with rice...

 

^my roomate warned me that he had tried that but it didnt come out the same with the vinegar. I have like an hour to get it down what ever Im going to do for rice before my gf comes over

 

+1 i think ive used that rice before i remember it being pretty good. Even for eating it with chinese food

 

really? Its actually the first brand ive used when making sushi and ive always used it ever since.

 

Damn I wish I saw this thread earlier. I'm a sushi chef and I could've gotten you the fish we use at our restaurant..I guess too late for that=(
You can go down to fish market in Downtown LA too but it's too late for that as well=(
Good luck buddy!

 

Discounts for your socal buddies?

 

Noo!! Not too late. I get off at 3:30 and from there I have an hour to pick up the sushi and get home so depending on the location its possible.

 

^I am going to try that. Can I still make it without a rice steamer? I think you just match 1 cup water = 1 cup rice. Does anyone know the ratio or Vinegar I would use?

Thanks so much, You guys are saving my a**

 

My Mission now starts!! I will post pics of my success or failure. Hopefully success!!

 

Too bad your all the way in OC, or else I would have volunteered as "Food tester/judge". I guess your gonna have to go on without me. Good luck!

 

so in this case success means pics of the gf, right?

 

umm I didnt really use a measuring cup...I used a different way to measure how much water and vinegar goes in....but I did use a rice cooker haha.

anyway good luck.

 

Evil TT I want to know results......hopefully you guys are doing OK and didnt go out like Romeo and Juliet!

 

Pic Update!

So it ended up successful!!! Crazy, but succesful. Here are some pics with some illustrations.



Some of the goodies I picked up


Sushi does not exist without the following


The fish




After Baking Eel



Scallops


Now...lets just say that I was warming up on the first roll....lol..I actually sucked pretty bad at first!
Unagi Roll w/ sauce

and a not so sushi chef spicy scallop hand roll


At this point I started to understand how to roll better and apply rice.
Spicy Tuna Unagi Roll




My Spicy Scallop hand roll started comming together better


And my evil super spicy Tuna roll



So all and all, it was a very good experience. I probably will try it again, but I'll probably leave the good stuff for the pro's. All was good and didn't have to worry about stomack issues at Disneyland the next day!!



Thanks again for the suggestions on the Market and Rice!!

 

the food looks delicious hehe...ok im hungry now

 

ya, its way healthier too

 

I just had ramen at daikokuya in little tokyo. It was delicious....

btw, evil where did you end up getting the fish?
