Maki is a type of sushi roll that includes toasted seaweed nori rolled around vinegar-flavored rice and various fillings, including raw seafood and vegetables. The word maki means âroll.â There are a variety of types, including uramaki which is complex and requires the attention of a skilled chef.
The California roll is a maki-zushi (roll), a kind of sushi, usually made inside-out, containing cucumber, imitation crab stick, and avocado. Sometimes crab salad is substituted for the crab stick, and often the outer layer of rice (in an inside-out roll) is sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds or tobiko. Must-Haves: Without these you don't have sushi. Nori: This is what makes sushi sushi. It's seaweed but don't think about that. It comes in square sheets. I suggest starting off with a whole or 3/4 sheet for each roll. With practice you should be able to get it down to 1/2 sheet per roll. Rice: Short grained and short grained only please. It's not always easy to find but short grain rice does exist.
