Imagine how good life is going to be if you can have a homemade sushi roll as a snack every single day!!! I love sushi but the place I live in Melbourne does not have any decent place to have sushi. So it got me thinking, how many other people must be having the same problem as me?
How do you make sushi at home?
The answer is many. I make simply the easiest sushi at home. Many people are daunted at the fact that they cannot make sushi at home. Well, let me break to you guys, it’s actually mind-bogglingly easy!!! I don’t use a bamboo mat to roll my sushi; you only need a few ingredients to make this amazing dish.
I will be very honest we cannot compare restaurant-quality sushi to homemade sushi but spending $50 on sushi becomes quite challenging, if I can make sushi for $10, hey why not!!! It surely satisfies my cravings.
