How do you roll Uramaki sushi?

Follow the steps below to roll the perfect Uramaki Sushi.

• Prepare your bamboo mat by wrapping it in foil.
• Place a sheet of Nori (seaweed) on the bamboo mat. It does not matter which side is up or down.
• Place the rice on the Nori sheet and gently spread the rice to the corners with your fingers. For Uramaki you use a little more rice than for Maki. Make sure to leave about 1 cm of space at the bottom.
• Spread some Japanese Togarashi spices and sesame seeds over the rice.
• Grab the nori sheet by the ends and turn it over so that the rice is on the bottom and you have an empty nori side on top.
• Now place your toppings in the center of the nori. Do this horizontally.
• Now roll upwards from the bottom so that the roll closes. Put some pressure on the roll and roll it off again.
• You now only have to cut the Uramaki and then you can enjoy it!
