Ingredients calculator for homemade rolls: exact proportions

🥢 How to correctly calculate ingredients for homemade rolls

Making sushi at home is a great way to save money and gather a group of friends. But the main problem always remains proportions: how much dry rice should you cook so that there is no excess left? How much fish should I buy for 4 servings? Our roll ingredients calculator solves this problem in one click.

💡 The golden rule of a sushi chef: From 1 kilogram of dry cereal you get approximately 2.2 - 2.4 kg of ready-made (cooked and seasoned with vinegar) rice. One standard roll (8 pieces) takes from 120 to 140 grams of cooked rice.

What is the use of our tool?

  • Budget saving: Red fish and cottage cheese are not cheap. The calculator will show the exact weight down to the gram so you don’t overpay in the store.
  • Accounting for “error”: We have added a convenient checkbox “+15% margin”. It helps out if the rice is a little overcooked or when cutting fish you get uneven trimmings.
  • Accurate technical maps: The calculations are based on real technological maps of delivery restaurants (separately for uramaki like Philadelphia and classic simple maki).

Secrets of perfect ingredients

🍚 Rice selection

You don’t have to buy expensive rice labeled “For sushi.” Any high-quality short-grain rice will do (for example, the “Kuban” variety). The main thing is to thoroughly rinse it 5-7 times until the water is clear to wash off excess starch.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Is rice dressing (vinegar) necessary?

Yes, it is what gives rice its characteristic taste and stickiness, and also serves as a natural preservative. The dressing can be made at home: mix 50 ml of rice (or apple) vinegar, 30 g of sugar and 5 g of salt, heat until dissolved, but do not boil.

How many sheets of nori do you need for 1 kilogram of rolls?

For inside out rolls (Philadelphia, California) for 1 kg of finished product (this is about 4 servings) you will need only 2 whole sheets of nori, since they are cut in half. For maki rolls, the consumption is the same (half a sheet per serving).

Why does cheese stick to the knife when slicing?

In order for the rolls to be cut perfectly evenly, the knife blade must be very sharp. Before each cut, wet the blade with cold water (maybe adding a drop of vinegar) and wipe it to remove any remaining cheese and rice.
