Temaki sushi

This is my first try to make temaki sushi. As you can see, I need to practice. But when you see videos like this one, to make sushi seems the easier thing in the world. The problems comes when you notice that your hands are not training to move itself with that agility. And the rice comes out from the nori seaweed, and you try to close the temaki and it is open... As I told you, this is my first try to do temaki sushi.



Ingredients:
For the rice
Sushi rice
1 cup of sushi vinegar
1/2 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of salt
For the filling
Avocado
Cucumber
Stick crab
Fresh salmon
Smoked salmon
Fresh tuna
Mayonnaise
Wasabi
Omelet

The most important for the sushi is to make a good rice. For that, wash the rice with cold water until eliminate all the almidon and the water turns transparent. Then, put the rice in a pot and cover it with water until you put the extended hand over the rice and the water cover your knuckles.

Cooked the rice covering the pot. 5 minutes at a high heat, 10 minutes at a slow heat and 5 minutes more outside the heat. The pot has to be always covered.

While the rice is cooking, put in another pot the sushi vinegar, the sugar and the salt. Boil it and reserve. Take outside the rice from the pot and add it the vinegar. Move and reserve in to the fridge.

Then you only have to build the temaki. I'm not going to explain that with words. See
this video and try your best!
