Notes

A California maki is a staple of Japanese food, and can be made at home quickly. A nori sheet is used to wrap the sushi, and a sharp knife is used to roll it. The maki is served with pickled ginger and soy sauce. To make it as authentic as possible, choose a California maki that's filled with avocado, shrimp, and crab. If you're cooking for others, don't be shy about sharing.
