Maki sushi is probably the most well known type of sushi in the U.S. It consists of a layer of nori surrounding a layer of rice surrounding the fillings in the middle, all rolled into a cylinder and then cut into several smaller slices. The most well known type of maki sushi is the California Roll.

How to Make Temaki Sushi

<p>Temaki is a super easy type of sushi to make. It is similar to <a href="">maki sushi</a> and tastes pretty much the same, but is so much easier to make! This would probably be great for sushi parties - you don't need a bamboo rolling mat to make it, and if you have all your ingredients and the nori cut up before you start, you don't even need a knife!</p>

Cha-Shu Sushi

I grew up with my mom making cha-shu. She would make a big batch for dinner one night and we would eat it with ramen, and then eat it in sandwiches the rest of the week. It wasn’t until I met Son that I ever heard it referred to by the Chinese name – char

Sweet Curry Sushi

Sushi… Beyond the Sea!

<p>...Sushi, waiting for me! Hehe I love that song! (Beyond the Sea, from Finding Nemo :) ) If you like seafood, you will love this sushi! Smoked salmon, imitation crab and unagi all come together in this roll, with the fantastic taste of green onion to ensure that the fish taste isn't too overwhelming. :) </p>

Bee Maki

<p>Who would expect to taste sweetness in sushi? Surprisingly, it's possible without making one of those *candy sushi* things with rice crispy treats and fruit roll-ups. (Never tried them, and I'm not sure I want to... have you? If so, are they any good?) The combination of unagi and honey in the roll adds a sweet note to the roll, while the imitation crab and shoyu create a bit of
