I LOVED this recipe! I made it for a bunch of vegetarians, so I didn't use the crabmeat and I added carrot and radishes. Yum! Pickled ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi for dipping are musts!

We just got some bamboo sushi mats as a gift and we had never made sushi before. I found this recipe and it was great! Not only was it delicious, but it was so much fun to make, too. I used 2 cups of rice and only 2 tablespoons vinegar and sugar and it was perfect.

This recipe was very simple, yet tasted so good! My whole family had it for dinner (i have a 8-year-old son) and wanted me to make it again. By far the best rice i have ever made for sushi. thank you

This is a great basic recipe for suchi. You can add anything to it that you want. As for the reviwers saying they didn't need to bake to nori: if you just bought it, then it will be strong enough, but if you opened the package and saved some nori for later, even if you sealed it in a bag, you might need to bake it because it gets soft and falls apart. Thanks for the recipe! I have been making this sushi for almost a year now and my boyfreind still requests it...that's when you know its a keeper :)

Nice starting recipe but I would recommend lowering the amount of rice vinegar and sugar down to 2 tablespoons each (even when using 2 cups of uncooked rice as I do to make a California Roll) as you don't want it to overpower the flavor. Otherwise a good recipe to start from.

Excellent recipe. Very easy to make and it tastes like it comes from a sushi bar. I moved to a small town from a large city, and sushi is not available to me now. So, this recipe is a godsend. If I would have known that I could make sushi of this quality when I lived in the city, I would have saved a lot of money! :)

I really like this. I've been looking for the fish eggs that Sushi places use and have been trying to figure out the right recipe for cooking soft shell crab to put in my next roll. So if anyone has a clue...

Help! Can't figure out why all the nori I've tried at home has a strong "fishy" taste. It's never like that when I've had it out or purchased it from a market. I have tried rinsing it with no luck. It's all that keeps me and hubby from making it at home on a regular basis. Can anyone explain or give us some advice on the type or brand to buy???? Thanks!!

This is a great basic sushi roll recipe. I love to entertain and had a "sushi party" recently. I prepared the rice in advance and had all the ingredients sliced and chopped (i.e shrimp,avocado, cucumber, smoked salmon, pickled ginger, daikon radish...etc. BE CREATIVE) Everyone was provided with a rolling mat and plenty of nori sheets then layered on the rice and ingredients of their choice. This was a super fun party and I will defintely use this recipe again!

Aside from the difficulity of rolling the sushi the right way, it's a great recipe. May I also suggest imitation lobster meat in place of crab meat? They cost about the same but they taste quite different. All I needed was easily found at a local grocery store called Meijer, in the Asian food section. Now if I can find a book on Sushi rolling for dummies... ;)

The rice turned out just right with this recipe. The "stuffings" are pretty standard and you can adjust them to taste. Very useful recipe for getting started with sushi. Thanks Adam.

My sister had to present a project for her japanese class, so she chose to make these sushi rolls for them. Boy were they a hit, she made everyone one and made extras just in case. They were all gone and people were asking for more. Tastes just as good as any restaurants. I had a problem trying to find "short-grain" rice, and then I figured out it was "calrose" rice. That's the rice they use. Don't be fooled by the brands that say "japenese rice" that sell for 3x as much as calrose rice. They're both the same. Anyway, thanks, will be making again.

this recipe is a must for sushi fans! I cant begin to tell you the money I've been spending a week on sushi! *lol* I make the rolls with the rice in the nori or on the outside. I've watched at the sushi station and figured out after pressing the rice onto the nori, sprinkle sesame seeds and flip it over onto the bamboo mat (wrapped in syran wrap) so the rice is on the bottom and nori ontop. Fill with whatever you want and roll. I've been making the small snack ones with cucumber and carrot in them (nori outside, rice inside), crab salad instead of the crabstick with avacado, shrimp with cucumber and this spicy sauce they make at the sushi station (consisting of rice vinegar, mayo and chilli sauce (the oriental one), the other shrimp one Ive made is shrimp, spicy sauce, avacado and these little crispy rice balls (not sure what they are called but it adds a little crunch) wow are they good! I make these now atleast once a week. If you go to kitchen ect or some place like that, you can pick up a sushi set which has all you need, (bamboo mat, bamboo spoon, rice, wasabi, vinegar, soy sauce, little cook book ect) and its only 30 bucks! well worth it seeing that 9 rolls cost you 5-7 each time. Also, the guy at the sushi station said the trick to perfect sushi is a tight roll! Use the mat and press tight each turn you make with the mat, this will make the rolls tight and things wont fall out or come apart. Good Luck and Enjoy!

This was our first sushi making experience and it was very successful! This recipe is easy and wonderful! We also did not heat the nori and it was fine. We used sashimi tuna and cream cheese for some variation.

I've made these for years and I love them. You can make them with only one item rolled in or combine items in the rolls. I don't like to flake the crabmeat (it's better when you buy the long thin strips - it's more like at the restaurants, easier, and less messy). Go to a Japanese grocery store where you can buy frozen salmon, tuna, roe, etc. for some more variety. Also, I spread a VERY thin line of wasabi on the rice before I put on the avocado etc. It adds a little kick. And make sure when you're spreading the rice on the nori that you leave about a half inch at the end without rice so that when you're tightly rolling and almost at the end, you can wet that bare edge slightly with a little water on your fingertip. That way the roll will hold together. I don't heat the nori. I store it in the fridge, take it out and roll it just like that. I usually cut them into 8 pieces, otherwise they're too big. And when making the rice I add salt to the water instead of adding it after the rice is cooked and I don't put any sugar in it when I add the rice vinegar. Serve with soy sauce with a little wasabi mixed in. Sooooooo delicious!
