Add rice to a big plastic or wood bowl.
-
Combine rice vinegar sugar and salt mix well and add to the rice. Once it’s fully mixed spread the rice into a thin layer to help cool faster. Have a bowl of water and a damp towel available to you because the rice gets sticky and as you work frequently dip your fingers into the bowl of water.

-
Add a little water to the exposed 1 inch at the far end.
-
Add your vegetables and protein to the end closest to you then using the mat roll began rolling and pressing the roll so it stays together.
-
Once the roll is formed use a sharp knife to cut the roll in half‘s after each cart. Also after each cut dip your knife into the bowl of water and let the water drip down the knife so you get smooth cuts.
