6 large eggs, scrambled and cooked in a pan to make 4 thin
sheets
4 sheets nori, cut into halves

Sushi Rice
3 cups Japanese (sushi) rice, washed twice and drained
3 1/4 cups water

7 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon mirin
3 tablespoons sugar

Place washed rice in a rice cooker and pour in water. Soak rice for 30 minutes before cooking. Cook rice until done.
In a bowl, blend vinegar, mirin and sugar and set aside until ready for use.
Spread the hot steamed rice into a large plate or a large bowl. Please use a non-metallic bowl to prevent any reaction with rice vinegar. It’s best to use a wooden bowl called sushi-oke. Sprinkle the vinegar mixture over the rice and fold the rice by shamoji (rice spatula) quickly. Be careful not to smash the rice.
To cool and remove the moisture of the rice well, use a fan as you mix sushi rice. This will give sushi rice a shiny look. It’s best to use sushi rice right away.
