So of course, her ploy was to teach us something we didn&#8217;t know about cooking: how to make sushi! So, straight from Melissa (who learned from a one Ms. Stef) we have a step by step graphic explanation of how to make delicious sushi.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/_External_Import\/lh6.ggpht.com\/_YmQcBSp-FtM\/TEhzl3_-oKI\/AAAAAAAACP8\/3ujvcjo3DMc\/s512\/IMG_0451.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"287\" height=\"512\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>You need to have sushi rice. This is a must. If you don&#8217;t, it&#8217;ll be harder to roll. Melissa says you can do without it, but after using it, I see the ways. Sushi rice, for us, was found at Target (and not at Ralph&#8217;s or TJs, surprisingly)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/lh4.ggpht.com\/_YmQcBSp-FtM\/TEhzmgKN4GI\/AAAAAAAACQA\/N6hn2pycifk\/s912\/IMG_0455.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"547\" height=\"307\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Obviously you need tons of veggies. We used peppers, carrots, onions, avocados, and green onions. You cut them in strips, Melissa explained, and because of this you want veggies that are long, but you also can have shorter veggies and then use to strips. So, that&#8217;s an option.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/lh5.ggpht.com\/_YmQcBSp-FtM\/TEhzoUtXO6I\/AAAAAAAACQI\/VZhSTLrV0zA\/s912\/IMG_0472.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"547\" height=\"307\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/lh6.ggpht.com\/_YmQcBSp-FtM\/TEhz8tJjDBI\/AAAAAAAACR8\/vkieiZ5ldB0\/s912\/IMG_0539.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"547\" height=\"307\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Now, you take your piece of Nori (which is seaweed) and you hold it up and put it with the very shiny side out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/_External_Import\/lh5.ggpht.com\/_YmQcBSp-FtM\/TEhzrmbS7ZI\/AAAAAAAACQY\/tNLIqkS_VdA\/s512\/IMG_0480.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"287\" height=\"512\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/_External_Import\/lh5.ggpht.com\/_YmQcBSp-FtM\/TEhzpJ1MwkI\/AAAAAAAACQM\/Yj0Ep4ttI1s\/s512\/IMG_0476.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"287\" height=\"512\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">So you make the rice, and then you start with your seaweed piece and some rice.
