The sushi rolling mat (or Makisu)
The sushi rolling mat can be very useful, although, with some experience - you can do without it. Rolling an inside-out roll, however, requires a rolling mat covered with nylon (plastic bag or sheeting).
how to pick a sushi rolling mat ?
There are two kinds of bamboo rolling mats on the market. First you have the cheap kind, where both sides of the mat are rounded. That's bad. The second kind, might cost you a buck more, and features the "top of the line" of western technology: one side is rounded and the other is flat. You will soon find out that a rolling mat with one side flat is a lot easier to use, and brings you much more impressive results. enjoy.. |
