This turned out great. Great instructions, super video (made it look easy so I was sure I could try this, and wonderful recipes. I used carrots instead of crab for some rolls as my kids won't try fish. My nori was already 'half-sheet' size, and it worked perfect containing the filling as instructed. As for the sushi rice, I followed my rice bag instructions which said 1.5 c sushi rice and 2 c water, and it turned out perfectly in my new Miracle rice cooker. When seasoning the sushi rice, I needed to substitute a couple things. I had to substitute white wine vinegar for the rice wine. I also had to substitute sea salt for the kosher salt...so I just used 1/2 T sea salt. It was PERFECTION! I cut each roll into 8 pieces rather than 6.

They turned out delicious, but I had a hard time rolling them, the roll did not want to stay together and was difficult to cut.The step by step instuction video was really helpful! I also wasnt crazy about the nori, i think next time I will try it without.

I made this the same night I made the dashi and miso soup recipes I saw on a different episode. I think the rice wine vinegar/kosher salt/sugar mixture was a little too much. My rolls came out overly salty.

This was surprisely easy to make. My family actually said this was better than sushis in buffets and stores. I also put the rice inside the sushi and used shrimp and teriyaki chicken in place of the crab. I didn't cut the nori sheet in half because when I first did that, my fillings wouldn't roll closed because there wasn't enough nori. I just rolled all the way using the full sheet. You can also roll the fillings and then cut whatever is left of the nori sheet off but its not necessary. I think it depends how much filling u put.

I made these for a big painting party. Great finger food and so tasty. Much cheaper than buying it at a sushi place. Thanks Alton for another great recipe.

I saw this show for the first time a couple days ago. I thought as usual Alton was awesome. He is very informative and I am going to try to make this on memorial day weekend.

I threw an Asian inspired birthday dinner party and these rolls went over like gangbusters. They were tasty and so quick to make. The video demonstration was great and very easy to follow. 5 nori sheets made 40 big rolls. I'm splitting the recipe and making more tomorrow for coworkers. Works/tastes best with Jasmine rice. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
