Hosomaki roll is the roll that the seaweed called Nori goes outside, what i mean is also called by inside out Roll.
For this you are going to need: (2 people)
2 sheets of Nori
Rice
The ingredients of your like for filling, like prawns,cucumber,cream cheese,etc
A small bowl with water (to use to wet your fingers)
Some cling film or plastic wrap
First place the mat over your cutting board, you need to wrap the mat with cling film, this will help to not stick the rice.
Now you have got your bamboo mat wrap in the plastic paper, the place the sheet of Nori(you can also use just half of the sheet if you want) on top , wet your fingers and put about one handfull of rice on top of the Nori and start to spread it out all over the sheet and leave at least 1 cm all along the top surface without rice, this will help to close it better cause the Nori will stick over.
In the half of the half inferior of the Nori and on top of the rice place your ingredients will be the filling of it.
Be careful to dont put to much, if you are doing a full sheet 3 ingredients is enough and if you are doing half of the sheet 2 ingredients is fine.
Now is time to start rolling, this can be the most difficult part, but if you are patient with just practice everything can be possible!!!
Place your left hand in the mat and with the help of your right hand start pushing slowly and gentle untill the mat has done a full turn.
Place the roll in the cutting board and cut it in 8 pieces, all the same size.
Now it is ready to eat it!!!
You just need practice and you will see amazing results!!!!
