Steps:
- Wrap the sumaki with plastic wrap. This will prevent rice from sticking on to the surface of the sumaki. Place the half sheet of nori horizontally. Lightly wet your hands, and cover the nori with layer of rice. TIP: It is better to make a narrow rice ball the length of the nori first, and place the rice ball on the bottom edge and spread the rice by pushing the rice towards the upper portion of the nori.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds as desired. After the rice is evenly spread out, flip the nori, so that the rice side is facing the sumaki, and the nori side is facing up. Place your ingredients in the bottom portion of the nori (not too close to the bottom edge). TIP: Mix crab meat with mayo to make a dressing. For imitation crab, dice up the imitation crab into smaller pieces first before making a dressing.
- Using the sumaki, fold the bottom portion inwards so that it covers the ingredients. It is ideal to have about an inch or inch and half of nori left over (you do not want to over stuff the roll).
- Apply pressure on the sumaki so that the roll is tight, and continue to wrap the remaining portion. The inside ingredients should be wrapped about 1.5 times, rather than just once.
- When cutting the roll, place the roll out of the sumaki onto a cutting board. Moisten the knife with a wet towel, and cut it into halves first. Then, line up the two halves and cut it into 3 evenly spaced pieces so that you will get a total of 6 pieces from a single roll. TIP: When cutting a sushi roll, do not attempt to "chop" it by pressing hard. Rather begin with the front edge of the knife, and while pressing down, pull the knife backwards towards you, so that you are "slicing" it. It will prevent the roll of being squashed and give you a cleaner cut.

Steps:
- It's important to have all of your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you begin to assemble your rolls. (I especially recommend cooking the rice 1-2 hours ahead of time, so that it can cool to room temperature before assembling the rolls.)
- Lay a sheet of nori on a sushi mat* smooth-side-down, with the longer side of the nori facing you. Place a bowl of water nearby. Dip your fingers into the water (this will help the rice not to stick) and sprinkle approximately 1 cup of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border open at the top. Using your fingers, gently but firmly press the rice onto the nori in an even layer, dipping your fingers back into the water as often as needed so that they do not stick. You want the rice to cover the nori as evenly as possible, all the way to the bottom, left and right edges of the sheet. (See photos above.)
- Place the fillings in long horizontal lines on top of the rice, layering the different fillings side by side instead of in one big pile. Sprinkle the toppings a pinch of sesame seeds, if desired.
- Lift up the bottom edge of the sushi mat and carefully fold it over the fillings until they are enclosed in a roll, yet still leaving the top 1-inch of the empty nori exposed. Use the sushi mat to squeeze the roll in as tightly as possible. (Although not too tight, as you don't want all of the fillings to squish out!) Dip your fingers in the water bowl once more and use them to wet the remaining 1-inch of nori. Then use the sushi mat to finish rolling up the roll until it is completely enclosed. Give it a few extra squeezes all around so that it is nice and firmly-packed. Then transfer the entire roll to a cutting board. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to form about 5 sushi rolls.
- Using a very sharp knife, cut the each sushi roll into 8 equal(ish)-sized pieces. Transfer them to your serving plate.
- Drizzle the sushi with the spicy mayo and/or sprinkle with extra toasted sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately, along with pickled ginger, wasabi paste, and soy sauce for dipping. And enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the freshest fish possible. The quality of your fish will make a big difference in the taste of your sushi rolls.
- Cut the fish against the grain. This will help to prevent the fish from falling apart when you roll it.
- Use sticky rice. Sticky rice will help to hold the sushi rolls together.
- Wet your hands before handling the rice. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to your hands.
- Roll the sushi rolls tightly. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
- Serve the sushi rolls immediately. Sushi rolls are best when they are fresh.
