Futo-Maki (thick-rolled sushi)

Difficult instructions, but the outcome was very good. My 16 yr old son decided it was time to learn to make sushi. We should have started with a more user-friendly book. Although there are photogrphs illustrating rolling, the recipe makes no mention of how to prepare the rice. We knew a special type of rice was needed, but it required looking at various web sites to realize we had made a mistake by not adding rice vinegar to the rice when it was still hot.

The various sushi recipes are probably authentic - but we really needed a menu of filling choices, and easier to read instructions.

The sushi, though, came out very well.
