This was great! We even liked it as leftovers thrown into a tupperware. Even my DH who doesn't like sushi took it for lunch the following day.

Fantastic Recipe . Have served this to numerous friends who have loved it. Tend to use the pickled ginger as a gernish. Definitely worth a 5 star rating Anne (Glasgow)

Perfect... the only thing I changed was omitting the pickled ginger... that's usually not served in the sushi, just next to it. Great recipe!!
