I always wanted to make sushi but never get to make it until after one day my Japanese friend brought me the two Japanese Recipes Books from her vacation.

The recipe book on the left side (below) is very comprehensive with step-by-step instructions and picture. It's written in both Japanese and English and very explanatory.

I love this book better than the other one, but I recommend the recipe book on the right side (below) for anyone who is new to cooking as it provides an easy to cook japanese food.

1.       The first thing to do to make sushi is to make the vinegared rice by combining sushi rice, mirin and rice vinegar.
2.       After the rice is cooked, it will take a while to cool off.. in the meanwhile, you can spread the rice on the wooden/bamboo bowl and top it with a wet napkin...
3.       Then you add different fillings to your preference, I never use more than three ingredients for my sushi, as Alton Brown said, your taste buds will get confuse if you have too many ingredients in your sushi, plus it's also make it harder to roll the rice.
4.       I usually use crab (imitation and sometimes real), cucumber and avocado and topped it with tobiko. Other times, I combine spam with omelet and cucumber.
