"My husband and I tried sushi for the first time when our daughter brought leftovers home after she had gone to a local sushi bar. We were both impressed; DH was so impressed that he decided he wanted to learn how to make sushi. He watched loads of sushi making videos and came up with this recipe. It is a basic California Roll recipe which I found quite tasty. He has gotten quite good at this new venture of his, his rolling is beautiful. The cook time listed for this recipe is for the rice."

Spread rice evenly over nori sheet.
