How to Make Sushi: Putting Everything Together

Once both the rice and rolled egg have completely cooled, we can now put everything together.

1. Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo folding mat (Makisu).
2. Put 6 heaped tablespoons of rice onto the midline of the nori.
3. With wet hands, spread the rice evenly over the nori. I would place a hand right at the edge of the nori so that the rice would not spill over. Leave one inch margins to allow space for rolling.
4. Line the fillings of the sushi on the rice.
5. Suggestions for sushi filling: salmon, cucumber, avocado, egg, carrots, shitake mushrooms … anything really.

Now we’re ready to roll our sushi.
