Tips on Making

Sushi Rolls:

Sushi is very versatile and can be made with just about any filling that you wish. If using raw fish, be sure that it is sushi-grade fish from a reputable fishmonger. Cooked fish and vegetables are simple alternatives.

A sushi mat is very helpful in rolling sushi. You can also hand-roll sushi if using nori (seaweed paper).

Following are some suggestions for fillings to give guidelines on amounts – substitute your favorite flavors.
