Tips:

To make your own sushi rice vinegar, combine 1/2 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute.
To make sushi rolls more manageable, use a bamboo mat. The bamboo mat helps to keep the rolls tight and uniform.

Soy sauce is a traditional condiment served with sushi.
