How to cut Sushi rolls?
When I first started making sushi rolls at home, I often ended up completely destroying the rolls. I thought I mastered the art of rolling sushi when I could construct any type of sushi perfectly, but I was wrong. A new problem awaited -cutting the sushi. I often ended up squishing the tiny individual pieces, and they would look like a splattered burrito. Eventually, I did get the hang of it.
So, if you are struggling with the same problems, then keep on reading. After years of testing different sushi and cutting methods, I think I have found the perfect way to cut sushi rolls.
Cutting a typical sushi roll
- Get a wet stone and sharpen your knives
- Dip the knife in water and make sure that the drop of water travels down the entire length of the knife.
- Hold the roll gently with your fingers
- Cut the first individual slice
- Clean the knife
- Repeat the process
Cutting an inside-out sushi roll
- Get a cling film
- Wrap it around the top of the roll
- Dip the knife in the water
- Gently hold the roll with fingers
- Cut pieces quickly in fast moves
- Remove the cling film
Conclusion
Mini Kitchen tools are not only used because they are tiny and cute. These are also very useful if you live in a small apartment or are traveling in an RV. The only difference between a full-sized version and a tiny version is the size. Other than that, there isn’t any different. All appliances work on the same principles.
