To make Sushi rolls using bamboo
-
Place a sheet of nori onto a bamboo mat, rough side-up, and with the lines running in the same direction as the bamboo mat. Add 1 cup of sushi rice and spread it out as much as you can with a rice paddle.
-
Near the middle of the rice, put a thin row of vegetable ingredients horizontally. (Hint: don’t put too much filling until you get the hang of rolling.)
-
Roll up the bamboo mat, pressing it forward and shaping the nori to create the roll, try and keep it as tight as you can.
-
Unroll the mat and place the roll on a cutting board.
-
If the edge of the nori is not sticking down and making a seal, use your finger to wet the edge with some water and roll it again. (Tip: place a couple of rice pieces on the fold of the seaweed, and press closed)
-
Wet a sharp knife with a wet cloth. Cut the sushi in half, then cut each half into three pieces to end up with six pieces.
-
Arrange sushi on a platter.
-
Don't forget the spicy mayo YUM!~
