]]> Sushi is a popular favorite food, but far too few people attempt to make it at home, because most assume it will be too complicated. But making homemade sushi is actually quite achievable. In fact, you’ll probably be a pro by the end of your first session. The one key, though? Having the right materials. Here’s what you’ll need.

Seaweed for Sushi

The seaweed sheets you need for sushi will be thicker and sturdier than the ones for snacking. Make sure to read the package before you buy.

Sushi Rice

Yep, the rice—one of the main components of sushi—you buy will have to be special sushi rice. Don’t worry, it’s pretty easy to find.

Raw Grade Fish

If you’re using fish in your sushi, make sure it’s rated for eating raw. We don’t want any food poisoning here!

Bamboo Mat

This is the one specialized kitchen item you really need for making sushi. But don’t worry, it doesn’t take up much drawer space, and you can get them pretty cheap.

Soy Sauce, Pickled Ginger, and Wasabi

Sure, these aren’t a must, but to complete the sushi experience, you’ll definitely want to have these garnishes available.

Be sure to have these three condiments ready before serving up your sushi masterpiece!

Wasabi

Wasabi is a paste made from the ground base of a plant known as Japanese horseradish. Its intensely pungent smell and quick burst of spicy heat is a favorite to eat with sushi, even though it might not be for everyone.

Soy Sauce

If you don’t like eating wasabi along with your sushi, you’ll almost certainly like soy sauce instead. This salty and umami-filled traditional sauce from Japan enhances the flavor of both the fish and the rice—which constitute the base of sushi.

Pickled Ginger

Are you looking to cleanse your palate between different varieties of sushi? If so, be sure to serve pickled ginger alongside your homemade creation! This traditional accompaniment is easy to make at home or to find in specialty grocery stores.
