Cutting sushi

[Anonymous No.6824623]

I like making sushi, but when I want to cut the sushi I always end up smushing it because the nori is so difficult to cut through, you have to pretty much saw it.

Any advice? Do I need a thousand-dollar knife or something?

use something sharper than a butter knife, faggot.

Not an expensive knife, just a sharp one. There's those whetstones you can buy online that will do pretty nicely.

>I like making sushi
How about you the roll whole just like you devour all those cocks.

[Anonymous No.6824658]

Don't roll when the rice is hot. The nori will turn rubbery making it difficult to cut.

make sure your knife is wet and clean between cuts.

This. Just sharpen your damn knife, OP.

[Anonymous No.6824705]

Would a serrated knife be better for this purpose, since you're interested in gradually sawing thru rather than slicing with more pressure that might squish it?

A properly sharp knife doesn't need to saw through. It just goes right through it like my dick goes through your mom.

Christ, any knife will work fine as long as it's sharp.

This was the first Sushi i ever made, from scratch. I used some shitty red vinegar i got on sale in an asian store and paella rice that i soaked for about an hour. Inside is just cucumber and carrot, which i steamed. I took that fucking nori my roommate had left on the shelf for about 2 years, soaked it in water, applied all the stuff on it on some bamboo mat and rolled it up. Thats it. If you suck that much, and you said you like making it, so you have done it several times, stop doing it and try something else. Most things about cooking is just knowledge, you have to know how to use different things and how to apply them properly.
Love you

This was my first sushi, yours looks pretty fucking bad, tbh.

I don't suck at preparing sushi entirely, I was just wondering why my knives, which are perfectly sharp enough for everything else I ever cook, seemed to be too blunt for making perfectly round sushi.

so... sharpen it? What is your question if you know, that your knives are stale?

[Anonymous No.6825040]

Like a tomato, you need to break the skin first. If you cut into a hole or notch you've made it's easier to slice cleanly through.
Also let the rolls sit and get moist first, it's a LOT easier to slice through damp, soft nori.

...and, yeah, sharp knife. Wipe it between slices so it doesn't get gummed and sticky with starch.

I mean, who wouldn't? It's just a sushi roll that hasn't been cut into pieces. It tastes just like any other sushi roll and is more portable.

My first sushi attempt from way back. >california roll I know.

If you don't have a sharp knife....well you probably shouldn't even be cooking in the first place. If you do, just wipe between slices.

Man, what idiots for wanting freshly made food
I can see how this is an inconvenience to you but try to see it from their point of view

Pic related. I have one because it's kinda cool. Although I can use the bamboo mat to make perfect circle rolls, sometimes I use my mold to make square ones just for fun.
