We must flip the nora so the rice is on the outside.
The rice won`t stick to the mat because we added saran wrap to the bamboo mat.

Roll the nora and rice using the bamboo mat to keep the roll firm.


Now you can cut the roll, but first add some saran wrap over the roll, this will help keep the roll intact while cutting it, and your hands won't stick to the rice.


Once the saran wrap is over the roll use the bamboo mat to firm the roll and wrap togther. Then remove the bamboo mat, make sure the saran wrap is still on the roll.

Cut The Sushi Roll

Next, cut the roll using a chef or santoku knife. The knife will stick to the rice when cutting the roll, so first add water to the knife, and keep a watered towel handy, or paper towel drizzled with water.

You can cut the roll in half then half again, then remove the end small pieces, you will probably have 6 pieces for your roll. Or you can cut in half then cut individually to the size you like; keep them small enough to be eaten in one bite.
