Make Sushi Party -- Norimaki

In this third installment of the Sushi Party recap we look at what I always think of when people talk about sushi, norimaki. Seaweed wrapped around sushi rice surrounding some good stuff.

Make sushi rice, by mixing some rice vinegar into some warm white rice. 
Prep the ingredients: avocado, tuna, cucumber, nori (seaweed) sheets, .... (The crab was for the California rolls.)
Place a nori sheet on the bamboo mat.
Spread with sushi rice, leaving a little gap at the bottom and a bigger gap at the top.
Top with the fillings. Use the mat to help roll it up nice and firmly. Wet the trailing edge of the nori with water to make it adhere to itself.
Wet the knife and slice with one firm cut. Give the irregular end pieces to the cooks.
They even let me get into the action! Too much fun.
