    thanks for the easy tips, sushi is the thing now...save alot of money making it at home, once your skills are top notch. another tip 'not only a sharp knife, but wanna make sure the knife stays wet, every slice...that way it cuts through the seeweed easier'.

      I didn't see much of a struggle. He looked like he was just making sure the nori separated completely before pulling away. He didn't struggle at all during the entry of the cut which is the toughest part of cutting rolls.

    Glad you reminded me. Common sense should have told me to NOT mash the rice kernel even at this point, as one rolls the roll. Years ago, at a park, saw how to wash rice, correctly, and even then, it was stressed, do not break the rice kernels, as you gently massage it under water. There are recipes where broken rice is preferred, but in most cases NO! No matter the culture. We Americans, even if from other country backgrounds, quickly loose our culture, when it comes to these rule of common decency. Rice, to us, may be JUST a binder, like potatoes, pasta, a greasy order of fries, or garlic bread, but when I lived in the Philippines, rice was the Magna Carta, of foods Other than a few items, such as Adobo, rice was RICE. But Adobo, was a family style flavor, sort of like a choice of religion, but rice was not. Many people died there, if no rice, or budget. I know of poor people there who only eat rice, and dip their fingers in water, or if rich poor, in salty water, or soup broth, then eat the rice. They flavored the rice with this mix of water, as it dripped off their fingers. A piece of chicken, if lucky, could have been for the entire family of 6, or a few shrimp, and boiled the shell to make that finger dip bowl to grab the rice, but the rice was the goddess of foods. Even now, I try so hard not to mess up the rice, or waste it. Any food frankly. American families, just toss OUT rice, as if it was coffee grounds. Now, if it is on the floor, we would sweep it up and wash it well. I knew a woman who had the naturally occurring bugs hatching in her rice. She did not toss it. She washed it well, and scooped the remaining bugs out, as she boiled the rice. I am Caucasian, from Italian Irish back ground, but until people like me see and hear people tell me, when I ask them; "Where would you like to go eat?" and they always say, RICE!. I said, no not shopping, where to eat, you choose, ok!. They would rice and tap their tummy, or finally say; " I need my rice. Then I got it. Thank God, in the Philippines, place like KFC and Straw Hat pizza, sell rice with it's meals and all of their dinner combos. As far as I know, all dinning, includes rice. Some, maybe few, offer all of the rice you can eat. Amazing! Sorry, so long, maybe I was also here, reminding myself, of 2014-2015.

    I'm sorry don't get me wrong but you are not making a roll you are making a Maki because,the Maki is a type of roll in which the seaweed wrap is on the outside of the roll. Rolls are when the rice is rolled on the outside and the seaweed wrap is rolled along the inside.just want to be specific and I don't want to confuse your audience..

      Actually, a "roll when the rice is rolled on the outside and the seaweed wrap is rolled along the inside" is called a URAMAKI ROLL.
      Definition of a Uramaki roll: any sushi roll that has been turned “inside out,” with the rice on the outside and the nori on the inside wrapped around the ingredients.

      Not a hundred percent you are correct but I am willing to learn and investigate. In my experience Hoso, and Futo Maki Rolls refer to size, Maki being smaller.
