Making Your Own Sushi

Davis Library

meeting room 1 on lower level; 6400 Democracy Blvd, Bethesda

Like the instant ramen noodle soup, sushi has become a go-to snack or even meal these days. So why not learn how you can make the common make-zushi (rolled sushi) on your own rather than rely on restaurants or even grocery stores?

Caroline Levenson, a sansei (third-generation American) will briefly describe the main types of sushi that can be easily prepared at home, identify the ingredients and tools commonly used in their making, and then demonstrate the filling and rolling technique used in the common make-zushi. Participants will then practice filling and rolling their own sushi.

Basic sushi ingredients, such as rice, seaweed wraps, sushi syrup, fillings (e.g., egg, cucumber, and avocado) will be provided for the class.

Participants are expected to bring a rolling mat. This mat is bamboo and available in Oriental markets and in the international foods area of some grocery stores. However, a flexible placemat or even a smooth tea towel can be substituted as long as it can hold the rice firmly while it is being rolled.

Event size needs to be kept to 17 participants, given the need for answering questions and later review of and commentary on individual sushi output. In addition, a participation/materials fee of $10.00 is required to defray class costs.

Making Your Own Sushi

$10

Learning to make sushi involves hands-on work, so participants should wear appropriate clothes and/or apron and be ready to work alongside others to learn the placement and rolling technique. Sushi fillings will be vegetarian and, if desired, egg omelet. A sugar/vinegar syrup will be used to flavor the rice, and a seaweed wrap will complete the sushi. Alternative sushi types will be discussed and samples shown during the class. Participants must bring a bamboo sushi mat or other flexible bamboo or plastic mat with which to roll the sushi. The $10.00 class cost covers all materials and food ingredients used in the class. Unfortunately, refunds cannot be processed if registrant cannot attend on class day. If you do not want to provide a surcharge to the ticketing platform, just click the down arrow on the dollar amount field then click the "Other" Amount option before entering your debit or charge card information.
