These are super yummy and not that difficult to make! If you don’t have a sushi mat, you can still make these, however using a mat is more fun and does help make a nice looking roll. I recommend wrapping the sushi mat in plastic wrap, to keep clean. Always start with your nori shiny side down. You can add a little water to the far side of the edge of the nori to help seal it up when you roll it.
