How To Make Sushi Rolls

The Japanese are known for several things (like being awesome!) and one of them is their artistry and skill in creating beautiful, balanced and flavorful foods. From Bento Boxes to sushi rolls, Japanese chefs, home cooks and foodies put a lot of care and attention into their food by making sure every ingredient's flavor is well represented and balanced, and that the finished product looks like a work of art.

Sushi rolls are one of the best known and most popular Japanese dishes. Sushi consists of vinegared rice or “sushi rice” that has been wrapped in a sheet of nori and stuffed with other ingredients like seafood, meat or vegetables.
