Sushi at Home!
How to Make Sushi at Home! Whether you are interested in making sushi at home for your family, or thinking of hosting a sushi party, this post is for you! Making sushi at home is easier than you think!
I’m so excited to be here today to show you how to make sushi at home! In case you missed it, I’m doing 4-part Sushi series with KitchenAid and you can click here to see my first post.
Sushi can be made several different ways. In a roll, hand roll, wrap, with no rice at all (sashimi, as featured above) and even in a rice bowl. Today, I’m going to focus on the traditional way: sliced raw fish on top of rice and served with soy sauce, ginger and wasabi.
The video above is a video of my first Facebook LIVE video, which is why I am not looking directly into the camera (we are good now; this was our first video!). If you want to watch the actual Facebook LIVE video, click here.
Making sushi at home might have been something that wasn’t possible several years ago but now, purchasing all the tools you need couldn’t be easier. You can buy sushi molds that help shape the rice for your sushi, or you can use your hands. When starting out, I suggest using the molds first.
Make Your Life Easier
I’m all for using appliances and tools to make your life easier. Today, I used my KitchenAid Stand Mixer fitted with the flat beater attachment (or paddle attachment) to help me mix my sushi rice.
You can read my entire post and get the recipe for making sushi at home over at The Kitchenthusiast blog today!
- 4 cups cooked premium grade Japanese rice (medium grain rice)

I know that I blog about dessert, but sushi (any and all) is the number-one food I do not want to be without in life. It’s a perfectly balanced meal and tastes SO good. I love your tutorial, too! Never thought of using a mixer, and that’s such a game changer!
Thank you so much, Mir!!! I hope you try it!!!
I love your video, Alice! I’ve never really thought to make sushi at home, but you make it look so easy! My husband and I eat sushi quite often, as it’s my favorite, so I definitely need to try this! Sounds perfect for the summer, too!
Thank you, Gayle! You’re so sweet!! my video is so ghetto since it’s a video of my FB live video but I hope it gets the point across! 😛 I hope you try it!! it’s fun too!!! 🙂
I’ve never made sushi at home, but definitely something I’d love to try. I love how there’s practically endless combinations. So perfect for Summer 🙂 !
Thank you so much, Dawn!!!! Agreed! 🙂
I love your new header (? is that what it’s called?) with your family…you have the cutest little girls 🙂 Love this tutorial, I always order in but I should try making my own sushi more often.
Denise, thank you so much!! yes, it’s new and we’re still working out some kinks but thank you!!!! and I hope you try the sushi! 🙂
I love sushi, but never make it at home! Will definitely try! This video is awesome Alice!
Alice I love your videos! You are SUCH a natural! I haven’t been brave enough to do Facebook live yet but I know I need to get on board — well done girl!
Ashley, you would ROCK at FB live, girl!! Just do it! 🙂
Yum, this looks amazing! Popping over to their site to check on the full recipe now!
There was no blogger talking about using KitchenAid Stand Mixer to mix sushi rice until i read your post. That sounds strange but very exciting. Is it better and quicker if i follow your way instead of using hand to mix them?
Hi Lita! I found it easier and less messy! You can certainly use your hands but again, I found it easier and my hands didn’t get messy! I hope you try this!
