    Do you mean sushi rolls?
    You need to get some rolling mats.
    Do you have a recipe for mixing the rice?
    This is the Tokyo style The Osaka style uses more sugar.

    Start by putting some sushi rice in your cooker with water. Only wash it 3 times and don't be too rough with it.

    While it's cooking make your dressing
    Half a cup of sushi vinegar
    1 teaspoon rock or sea salt
    1 tablespoon caster sugar.

    Put the vinegar and salt in a saucepan. When the salt disolves add the sugar and stir until it disolves too. Don't boil it. Once the sugar is all dissolved remove it from the heat.

    When your rice is cooked tip it into a large flat bottomed not metal bowl. Use your rice paddle to spread it evenly then add some dressing to the rice rice - you want to kind of slice through it to stir. Keep stirring and adding dressing until your rice is all flavoured up. You don't need to finish the dressing. If you use too much it will be gluggy not fluffy.
    You might be able to find a youtube video so you see the technique.

    Don't refridgerate or it will get hard. Discard what you don't use - it doesn't keep for more than a day.

    If you get the rice right your rolls will be fantastic - even those lumpy uneven first efforts

    The best way to cool the rice down is with a hand held fan

    And if you can use a wooden bowl do as thats the traditional way.

    XH bought a sushi roll maker thingy from a shop. It makes making sushi super easy. I think it may have been about $20? (I got to keep it hehehe)
