also, u mention buying fresh fish at the marketplace, but from what i heard it has to be frozen at a special temperature to kill off the parasites. Tuna is like the only fish that is safe to be eaten raw without freezing. Not that it would stop me from eating fresh salmon, ive done it plenty of times, just trying to take precautions since u mention yellow tail etc also, do japanese originally put salt/sugar into their rice to make it taste better? Or do they serve it natural? | ||

At this point i wonder if there's a difference besides taste, since it went through "whitening"( stripping the nutrients off) also, u mention buying fresh fish at the marketplace, but from what i heard it has to be frozen at a special temperature to kill off the parasites. Tuna is like the only fish that is safe to be eaten raw without freezing. Not that it would stop me from eating fresh salmon, ive done it plenty of times, just trying to take precautions since u mention yellow tail etc also, do japanese originally put salt/sugar into their rice to make it taste better? Or do they serve it natural? basmati rice just isn't sticky enough and the taste is rather bland. "white rice" vs "brown rice" uhh i dont know ive never tried with brown rice =/ i guess there are less nutrients in white rice lol but i think you might need to remove that outer layer for the starch to come through during cooking ???? i duno you should google this or smthn hahaha yea what i do is call up the fish joint and tell them i want this and that fish and they will put it into their bigass -40 freezers on say wed and then thaw it before i pick it up on friday. definitely watch out with the health issue, but the fishermen will know what can be eaten raw and what cant. i just take their word for it =D yes the japanese put salt/sugar/rice vinegar in their sushi rice. i know they even have like extremely reduced fish stock or seaweed stock that they mix into their sushi rice for a better flavor but i have neither the time nor the know how for that haha. other sushi places i know put "secret" ingredients too for a unique sushi rice but they never tell anyone.

 I totally agree with you that there's hardly any good sushi restaurants in NA unless you pay sky-rocket prices.Luckily for me, I can just take the train down a couple of stations and have the best sushi on Earth ... for two-three more weeks. | ||

Other than that, you're pretty good. I've always worked in a restaurant making sushi, so we use gloves and a little bit of oil from some tempura to keep the rice off our hands - how do you do it with no gloves? Mad water is all I've ever had success with, but that's unprofessional and annoying. | ||

If you're really baller, you also let it sit in a strainer for 30 minutes after rinsing till clear so it absorbs moisture and comes out super fluffy when it cooks. | ||
