Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 4 cups sushi rice
  • 4 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp roasted sesame optional
  • 2 packs seaweed wrapper

Fillings for your Maki Sushi

  • 1 avocado
  • 1 English cucumber
  • 1 roasted eel
  • 1 pack imitation crab meat
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 can tuna
  • 1 Japanese mayonnaise
  • 1 regular mayonnaise

Instructions
 

  • Start by cooking your rice with the rice cooker.
  • While waiting for the rice to be done you can start cutting all the ingredients. The concept is to cut everything into long pieces.
  • Once the rice is done, you have to take it out of the cooker to let it cool.
  • When it gets to be just warm enough to touch, you can add the rice seasonings.
    Add salt, sugar and rice vinegar to the rice and mic well. The roasted sesame is optional, I put it in because it makes the rice look better.
  • Make tuna salad like you would if you are making a tuna sandwich. Spice it up anyway you want or just use mayo.
  • Cut some imitation crab meat into strips and mix together with mayo in a bowl.
  • Make egg salad like you would if you are making an egg salad sandwich. Spice it up anyway you want or just use mayo.
  • Heat up some eel, I got the already made frozen ones from the supermarket. After that just cut into strips.
  • Start with placing a piece of seaweed paper on the bamboo roller, add a layer of rice up top.
  • Add different fillings depending on your taste, then roll into small logs.
  • After the log is nice and firm, you can cut into bite size pieces. Place on plate or directly put into mouth, enjoy.

Notes

The main ingredients are usually the same but the fillings can be anything you want it to be.  Use plastic wrap for your bamboo roller so the rice won't stick to it.   When Cutting the maki, if the rice is sticking to your knife you can add some water or oil to the knife to make it less messy.
