Sashimi is simply a Japanese dish that consists of raw fish or seafood, typically sliced, cut, or cooked on top of rice or other similar flat grains. It was once the main course offered at many sushi restaurants, but is now often offered as a side dish alongside traditional Japanese cuisine.

Sashimi is not always the perfect balance of flavors, but it should be an integral part of any healthy diet. The key to making a healthy meal of sushi is to use high quality sushi ingredients, and then use them to make the best possible mix of flavor. You can find quality sushi ingredients by checking out magazines and internet shopping for sushi recipes, or by visiting sushi restaurants where they often display their supplies.

For sushi making at home, the first step is to purchase all the required ingredients. With sushi recipes available, as well as a wide variety of sushi supplies, from sushi knives to sushi machines, you can make great tasting, sumptuous dishes all right from your kitchen.

As you learn how to make sushi at home, you'll also want to consider purchasing a few extra tools to help speed things along. If you have experience making sushi at home, you might even consider investing in an automatic sous vide steamer, which steams the sushi so it will retain the natural, fresh flavors of your ingredients. In addition to sous vide steaming, a pressure cooker may be useful for making sushi or other sashimi at home. If you're making fresh sushi, such as salmon, it's wise to invest in a pressure cooker that will allow you to make quick and easy sashimi or sushi rolls without having to wait on a hot plate. Many pressure cooker options come equipped with a steamer attachment that allows you to steam small pieces of fish or rice directly onto a bed of rice or other flat grain.

Once you've obtained the tools you need, it's time to get down to learning how to use your new equipment. This is the most important aspect of sushi making at home. To master the art of sushi preparation, it's important to learn how to cook rice correctly. Whether you're using rice vinegar, white vinegar, soy sauce, or any other cooking liquid, you need to be sure to keep your rice under pressure to prevent over steaming and burning. Use a rice paddle to gently flip the rice from side to ensure an evenly cooked rice.

You will also need to learn how to serve sushi properly. As you gain experience and confidence with making sushi at home, you'll want to be able to select from the many different styles of sushi dishes. There are rolls, sushi burritos, sushi sandwiches, sushi nachos, as well as so many other varieties of sushi dishes you can make at home. Learning how to prepare these dishes requires some trial and error and experimenting with different combinations until you find a style of sushi dish that suits you and your family. As you begin to learn how to make sushi at home, you will undoubtedly continue to discover more new and exciting ways to enjoy this healthful and filling meal.
