    What is black sesame?

    Black sesame is a kind of salted & toasted sesame used to decorate and enrich flavor.

    There isn’t much to elaborate on the matter of using it, simply sprinkle as much as you dare on top, or all around an inside out sushi roll to create the desired ratio of black spots on rice white background of the roll. One good example of black sesame used on top of a sushi roll is the home made california sushi roll below. Find out more in the california roll recipe page.

    The taste, by the way, is not that dominant, nevertheless sensible. Give it a try!

    1. Prepare the rice as close as possible to making your sushi. It is not meant to be kept in the fridge.
      Don’t use any other vinegar but rice vinegar. It won’t taste as good.
      The working temperature for the rice is room temperature, while some prefer ‘body temperature’.
      If you are making sushi rice for the first time, use only half the vinegar mixture. Mix. Taste. And decide if you want to add the rest.
      Soak the rice in water for at least 20 minutes before cooking. That helps soften the rice grain kernel.
      Use our calculator to decide exactly how much rice to make. It’s a shame make more than you really needed.
      The average dinner would enjoy having 2 rolls in one sitting. Sometimes more. Absolutely no judgment.
      Don’t forget to get creative. This is your sushi. Own it!
      The vinegar mixture is only added after the rice has cooked.
