Well, how'd I do?

(Joke, I know the roll is way off. Been more than 20 years and I'm rusty.)

Man, it was delish.

It looks good enough that I’ve been influenced into getting sushi this week.

Beautiful! Do you have bamboo rolling mats? (I don't eat sushi but my GC does.)

Can somebody please tell me how to cook rice?!? I seem to be cursed, I'm not happy with it even in my Instant Pot or either of my rice cookers. It comes out okay if I cook it in the oven but it dries out quickly. I'm at under 1,000 feet elevation.

It looks like good food!

I've never had that but it's tempting to try something different.

Are you soaking it before you cook? I usually rinse, soak for 30 min, then just toss it in the rice cooker and let it do it's thing.

Also make sure your ratios are right. They aren't all 1:1 water and rice

Also, yes I use bamboo mats.

No I never soaked it, never had a recipe say to do that. I tinse it clear though. And I usually do 2:1 water to rice I think. Plus a little salt and sometimes a little butter. I'll try the soak tomorrow. Thanks!

What kind are you cooking?

What kind are you cooking?

Been using white until I can figure this out, then I want to go to brown for improved nutrition. Nothing special, just plain white.

Looks fine. Did you put a bit of wasabi under the tuna? That's how it's done traditionally.
