Actually I remember food in a minute did one - anyone tried this? Does it work? Whats some yummy combos??? Does the Japanese mayo really make a difference??? I have heard people swear by it???

It was far easier than I was expecting... only made it the once though as I got tired of all the chopping of the fillings. :PDidn't use Japanese Mayo... just BestFoods.
I put off making it....literally for years....I am a good cook, but making sushi I decided was too difficult.I finally succumbed and bought a kit a few weeks ago......sheeeeeesh....it is so easy.I don't know what I was worried about LOL.Just coming up with filling ideas can be a bit tricky...but I have used chicken in mayo in a can....tuna although you need to work quickly as the oil goes through the rice and softens the nori and it tears.....sliced carrot, celery, avocado, wasabi of course....basically you can put anything in....soft or crunchy.

I know!That's exactly why I waited so long... man... talk about painfully simple.Even my kidlets did it.I found the ingredients and mat much cheaper at the Asian supermarket than at the local ones.Even saw a mat at the $2 shop.
I used youtube and watched how the rolling was done... tonnes of clips on there. :-)

A japanese visitor to our farm gave me the recipe they used at a japanese restaurant she was working at in Auckland. two part brown vinegar to caster sugar (or to taste) add to rice once cooked (use the absorption method or a rice cooker) Her favourite filling was tuna drained and mixed with mayo and a bit of salt and pepper, we added wasabi into our mayo mix artehr than layer on separately.
