Now from here you will get instructions on how to row shushi. You can watch the video below by The Sushi Man for a step by step tutorial. To get started you will need the following:

• A wide kitchen cutting board
• Sharp knife
• A bowel of cold water
• Masiku (bamboo mat)
• A damp wet towel
• Plastic wrap
1. Take your sushi mat and place it on the kitchen board. Put a nori sheet on top of the mat with the shiny side up.
2. Take some Sushi rice and spread evenly on the mat leaving a small margin (1cm) at the top.
3. Stack the vegetables at the bottom of the sheet. Do not overfill.
4. Using the mat, slowly roll and squeezing tightly as you roll.
5. Once you get to the end dip your fingers into water and brush on the margin to seal the roll.
6. Congrats, you have made your first sushi roll, now using a sharp knife into 1cm slices. Repeat the last steps with the remaining nori sheets.
