Bamboo Sushi Maker Kit

How to Make Traditional Sushi Rolls:

1. Place your bamboo mat on a cutting board, ensuring the lines face horizontally.

Tip: Place a layer of plastic wrap on the mat to prevent the rice from sticking!

2. Using the spreader, spread a thin layer of rice over the nori (seaweed). Flatten the rice with the paddle. We recommend allowing space at the top edge of the nori sheet; this will help you later during the sealing process!

3. Here’s the fun part! Add your ingredients on top of the rice, doing your best to keep an even surface.

Tip: To make an inside-out sushi roll, turn your nori sheet over and place ingredients on the nori before rolling.

4. Gently lift the mat from the bottom, up and over the sushi. Press with care and roll the mat upwards with some pressure. You’re looking for a nice, firm roll!

5. Stop once you reach an inch to the top of your nori. Dab a line of cold water at the top edge of your sushi roll – and seal away!

Tip: You can ensure a tight roll by squeezing the mat until the roll is uniform to your liking.

6. Carefully cut the sushi rolls to your desired length with a sharp knife. To ensure a clean and precise cut, wet your knife after each roll cut.

7. Presentation is key! Line your rolls on a cutting board or a favorite serving tray, and enjoy with wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce.

About sushi rice:

Sushi calls for its own rice – sticky, fluffy, and prepared with rice vinegar and sugar. This short-grain rice – Japonica – is common in Japan, California, and Italy. While you can use long-grain rice in your creations, short-grain is highly recommended due to its adhesive quality.

Caring for your sushi making kit:

Maintenance is key for your sushi-making kit! For best use, hand wash and dry thoroughly, then store kit contents away from heat.
