Chilly Cali Sushi Roll

Submitted by Darla Mays

"I never like the sushi til 2005, first time trying the sushi(except the raw as I won't eat the raw), I fell in LOVE with them, as they became my fave asian food now. I love to dip them in Soy syrup! I got the recipe from another site, but I switch the ingredients around a little bit for myself."
