Instructions
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Empty rice into a bowl and run water through it until the water runs clear off the rice. |
| 2 | Then cover rice in water and boil, adding water continuously until it’s all absorbed and you have a sticky rice. |
| 3 | If you have a bit too much water at the end, when the rice is cooked, just set it in a strainer for a few minutes to drain. |
| 4 | Now, leave the rice for up to an hour beforehand so it can cool properly. |
| 5 | You can speed this up a bit by putting it in the fridge to cool. |
| 6 | When the rice is cool, lay out a tea towel and a nori sheet on top. |
| 7 | Spread rice thinly over the sheet (a knife dipped in hot water makes this easier), leaving about an inch clear at the bottom and a slightly smaller border around the rest. |
| 8 | The trick is to not use too much rice, leaving room for it to expand when rolled. |
| 9 | Choose your fillings (one or two for each roll) and lay out in a thin line across the sheet, about 1/3 of the way from the top. |
| 10 | Then start rolling from the top. The tea towel will help you get it started. |
| 11 | When it is rolled (the bottom inch of the nori will stick to itself, holding the roll together) take a sharp knife and slice 1 inch rounds. |
| 12 | Dip in soy sauce and wasabi, topped with ginger slices and enjoy! |
