Here are some tips for making sushi at home:
1. Make sure you prepare the rice 2 hours ahead- so the rice have enough time to cool.
2. Cut up your ingredients when rice is cooling.
3. Lay allingredients around you--so its easy to reach when you're making sushi.
4. Make sure all your surroundings are clean and dry.
5. Ingredients and equipment can be found at Japanese and Asian markets aswell as most large grocery stores.  I did a large amount of reading on how to make sushi before attempting my first ones. Sushi making does require a small amount of initial practice.  Don't be afraidto try!  You can use the techniques for making the California Rolls to make other variations with different fillings as sushi rolls are very versatile and you can make endless varieties.  Be creative!Printable Recipe
