Just two, Small group
Setting
indoor
Buy a sushi kit, pick up fresh fish and vegetables, and spend an evening rolling your own sushi at the kitchen table. It's messier than a restaurant but far more fun. The imperfect rolls taste just as good.
Tips to make it great
- 1
Sushi rice is the crucial part — follow the rice-to-water ratio exactly.
- 2
Lay out all fillings beforehand so the rolling is relaxed, not rushed.
- 3
Buy a bamboo rolling mat — a small investment that makes everything easier.
