Tips

For simpler cooking, use a rice cooker.
Mould the rice when it is warm so that it sticks well. For easier rolling and shaping, place a sheet of clingfilm between the mat and the nori sheet. You can also use a rectangular mould.
Accompany your makis with sweet or savoury soy sauce to taste, and some wasabi.
