“I’ve been making sushi from this recipe for about three years now,” says Annette Self. “I’ve tried many variations of ingredients. It is an art no doubt. Patience is indeed needed, but quickness is a necessity. I also make a teriyaki-honey sauce for dipping.”

“Making this was surprisingly easy,” according to FRAMBUESA. “I’ve never made sushi before and didn’t have a mat to roll the sushi into, but making the rolls in wax paper was a fine sub for the sushi mats and the flavor was excellent.”

“Make sure you keep your fingers wet when rolling so the rice doesn’t stick to your fingers,” advises phibie. “It helps to keep a small bowl of water by you to dip your fingers in.”
