Why can't I make a California Roll?

[Guest guest]

Okay, I have been trying ALL DAY to duplicate what they do on youtube. I

youtubed " How to make a california roll " and watched very carefully. I got the

Bamboo Mat, I encased it in plastic (didnt' work, the Nori Wrap stuck to it " . I

used brown rice instead of white rice but that shouldn't have made any

difference.

I make FAT rolls. I don't know why, I just do. I watched the tutorials over and

over. Oh, and because the rice would not stick to the nori, I just made it with

the rice INSIDE and not outside.

My neighbor came in, started laughing and gobbled it right up. She said " I don't

care how it looks, it's absolutely delicious " . I put low-sodium teriyaki in a

little bowl and when I cut up the " california roll " , we dipped the pieces in.

EVERY THING FELL APART.

Yeah, the taste is exactly like the Japanese Restaurant, but it doesn't hold.

Any suggestions would be MOST welcome. This stuff is not fattening, is

delicious, and I WANT TO LEARN.
