"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."
