Homemade Sushi

I am a self-taught sushi maker. I have no idea whether I am doing it right or wrong, but my family enjoys it, so here I go!

The rolls look very good. I make them a bit smaller.

I like to put my rolling mat in a freezer bag so that it doesn't get dirty especially since I like to do inside out rolls with the rice on the outside. I used to wrap my mat in saran/plastic wrap but it became time consuming and wasteful of all that wrap. With the freezer bag, I can just rinse it off.

I love sushi! I started this year to make them myself too. I must admit that I never thought of a combination with mango and shrimp but I absolutely have to make them! I for my part am adding sugar and salt to the rice vinegar.

Are you? I was adding sugar and salt before but then stopped, since you eat it with soy sauce, I find it too salty....

If you buy the seasoned rice vinegar you don't have to add any salt and sugar as it's already included in it. I use it because I don't make sushi often or in great amounts so it's fussy to prepare the seasoned rice vinegar when I do.

If you're concerned about too much salt, buy the low sodium soy sauce.

I am concerned :) My kids use buckets of it :) thanks for the advise
