Raw fish might be its classic centerpiece, but did you know you can roll practically anything into a sushi roll? If it tastes good together, it will taste great wrapped up in sushi rice and nori (or alternative wrappings). In this class, you will learn how to make the perfect pot of sushi rice, discuss and brainstorm myriad fillings for sushi rolls, including vegetarian options, seasonal produce, and even leftovers. You will practice the proper technique for rolling a maki roll and a hand roll. You’ll also assemble beautiful poke bowls — sushi rice piled high with vegetables, pickles, sauce, crunchy toppings and fish, if you like. No sushi mat required, but if you have one, you will learn how to use it!
