Instructions
Prepare Sushi Rice and Forbidden Rice. Cool completely before using.
Wrap sushi mat in plastic wrap on back and front to prevent sushi from sticking.
Place nori on the mat, then an even layer of rice so that it covers ⅔ of the nori. Arrange a few slices of veggies/fruit in the center of the rice. Pull the mat up and tightly roll mat away from you until the nori covers all the rice.
Using a very sharp knife, cut roll in half, then each half in 3 to 4 pieces. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with wasabi and soy sauce.
Experiment with other shapes too. Mound rice in small circles like a "bun" and place veggies between the two mounds. Top with sesame seeds.
Create nigiri by squeezing rice into a small oblong round. Top with slices of avocado, mango, or daikon radish. Garnish with sesame seeds.
