Question

is there alternative for the sushi mat? I can't fine any stores that sell one!

Community Answer

Take a tea towel (hand towels will work in a pinch as well), fold it in half lengthwise and lay flat on a counter. Cover it in plastic wrap, stack your ingredients, and then roll them up using the towel to guide the process. Just don't press too hard, otherwise the nori wrapper will tear. Mats can be found from online stores, use Google shopping for help.

Question

How do you make a California roll?

Community Answer

Follow the instructions for the uramaki roll. Use crab meat (real or immitation), cucumber, and avocado as your filling. For an authentic touch, add black sesame seeds to the outside of the roll.

Question

Which side of the nori does the rice go on?

Community Answer

The rice goes on the rough side of the sushi roll. Even if you're making an uramaki roll (inside-out roll), you should sill place the rice on the rough side.
