• Customize the roll to suit your preferences and flavors.
• Use only black rice as a base instead of brown or white rice.
• Brown or white kinds of rice won’t stick well.
• Put all filling items in a bowl for convenient access.
• Tightly wrap the rolls using a hand.
• Cut all veggies into thin slices using a knife.
• Make sure to cut all vegetables in long stripes form.

Storage Information

Fridge:

• We pack the sushi rolls whole in an airtight container and refrigerate them for 2-4 days. Ensure you save sliced rolls properly to prevent them from drying out too soon.

Freezer:

• You can freeze the rolls for up to two months. I don’t suggest freezing it because the nori sheet will lose its crispiness, rice will be soggy, and vegetables will absorb moisture.
