HFG tip
Prepare double the amount of rice, then you have enough for another day too.
Nori is seaweed used to wrap sushi. Find it in the international aisle of most supermarkets.
It’s not a good idea to have sushi every day, as it’s exceptionally high in iodine, so you want to monitor intake.
NOTE: If you have a nut allergy and are using packaged goods in recipes, please check the allergen warning on the packet regarding nuts.
