Sushi step by step

You need:
Bamboo mat
Chopsticks (to eat with)
Nori leaves
Wasabi
Soy sauce
Rice (if you don't use the real sushi rice then porridge rice can be used too)

Cucumber
Salmon/tuna
Cancer/Crab sticks
Paprika
Avocado
You can also use carrots, omelette,...

First of all you have to boil a rice. If you use real sushi rice you find the recipe for it right here. If you use porridge rice then boil 1-2dl rice, add salt to the watter and when the rice is done, let it cool down before doing anything.
After the rice is cooled down or while it's cooling down cut all things you are going to use in sushi to a slices but do not cut the nori leaves!

Take out one nori leaf and place it to the bamboo mat. Wet little bit your fingers and slightly moisten the nori leaf but be careful because if nori gets too wet it cannot be used.

Take out the cooled rice. Place it to the front of the nori leafe to the middle of it

Like this


Then place to the middle of the nori leaf those ingredients you want to but remember to add little bit of wasabi

And start warping the nori leaf around rice and for ex. fish and cucumber by using bamboo mat. You have to be careful because if you roll it too loosely you can't cut or eat it because all the rice and other ingredients will fall out inside of the nori. That's why you have to roll it very strictly



When you are done with rolling, cut the sushi to a suitable pieces

And serve

For a serving:
Take out a small bowl for a soy sausage and if you want you can mix it with a little bit of wasabi but you can also put wasabi to another small plate. Take one piece of sushi with your chopsticks (or fork). Put it to a soya sausage and wasabi (if you want) and eat.

Notice that wasabi has a very strong taste and use it only a little bit. Don't also soak the piece of sushi in soy sausage for a very long time because soy sauce has very salty taste and it's not good if you use it too much.
