Makizushi, or sushi rolls, are a classic Japanese dish made by rolling rice and fillings in a sheet of nori (seaweed).
They can be filled with vegetables, pickles, or tofu—making them easy to adapt for a vegan diet.
Colorful and fun to make, sushi rolls are perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or everyday meals.
They’re easy to eat by hand and bring a touch of Japanese charm to any table!

Point
- Let the sushi rice cool before using—it makes rolling easier and keeps the nori crisp.
- Use plastic wrap over the bamboo mat for easier rolling and cleanup.
- Place the fillings in the center and avoid overfilling for a clean, even roll.
- After rolling, let it sit for a few minutes before slicing to help it hold its shape.
