Assembling Sushi Rolls
- Slice sashimi-grade fish and veggies into thin strips.
- Lay a nori sheet on the bamboo mat, shiny side down.
- Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice, leaving a small edge at the top.
- Add fish and veggie strips about an inch from the bottom.

- Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces, wiping the knife after each cut.
- Arrange on a platter and serve with wasabi and pickled ginger.
Notes
Sushi is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to a day. If freezing, only use rolls with cooked ingredients or veggies and consume within a month.
