That looks so much better than the shop-bought sushi box I had for dinner.

My first attempt at sushi rolls had too much rice. I didn't wanna waste it but I now know better.

Thank you so much! I read somewhere that the rice layer should only be about 1/4" thick on the nori, and that you should almost be able to see the nori through the rice. I think I could have just cut an inch off of my nori piece, which would have cut out a bit of the excess rice.

omg thang you!!! i have always wondered how to make tamago. but i keep forgetting to look it up. everytime we go and eat sushi. my daughter loves the tamago. ^_^ now i just need to get those other ingredients and make it for her..

Tamago is very easy! Just be careful that it doesn't burn. Sorta like what happened to my first layer that I had to throw out. :X

Thank you! I was so pleased with the roundness. Next time I will cut a bit of the nori off so that the roll doesn't overlap too much. My hubs wants all kinds of other fillings now. hehehe

wow how long did this take you? those look totally professional, i'm quite impressed! ;)

i find that tamagoyaki tends to burn/brown quickly, so next time i'm going to try lower heat. thanks for the recipe! i've only made korean-style tamagoyaki, but i am going to try japanese style next. :D

oh and i really need to get that sushi grass... hehe.

It took me way longer than anticipated. 45 minutes? Maybe more? I was running around and doing other stuff too so I can't say for sure. Just having to make the tamago, make the spam, peel and cut the avocado, the cucumber, mix the crab, etc. It is all easy...but takes time! The actual rolling and making of the sushi didn't take long at all. So definitely will be pre-making some of this stuff when I next do sushi.
