Tips and Variations<\/h2>\n
- \n
- Place a set of six in a tray for authentic presentation<\/li>\n
- If you stop at the white felt, you are making a California roll. Tie with white thread<\/li>\n
- If you place a tiny scrap of a contrasting color inside the filling, it could look like a chive or scrambled egg…<\/li>\n
- Experiment with the widths of the black, white, and filling to make the sushi rolls look well-proportioned<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
