Maki Sushi (Japanese seasoned rice rolls)
Maki sushi is what most people think of when they hear the word "sushi"—filled rice rolls wrapped in nori seaweed. Many types of maki sushi are vegetarian. When making sushi with raw fish or seafood, it is important to use the freshest, highest grade you can find, often helpfully labeled "sushi-grade." Although you will often see it spelled "maki sushi" or "makisushi," the correct spelling is actually "makizushi."
MAKI SUSHI RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Center a sheet of nori on a sushi rolling mat. Spread about 1 cup of rice over the nori to the edge of the sheet on the sides and to within 1/2 inch at the top and bottom and about 1/4-inch thick.
2. Lay filling ingredients across the rice in thin rows about 2/3 of the way down from the top.
3. Starting at the bottom, roll the sushi mat up and over the sushi, gently pressing down to firm and compact the rice.
4. Remove the mat and cut the sushi into 1-inch pieces. Serve with gari, wasabi and soy sauce for dipping.
