If you love natto, this Natto Roll is an easy Japanese maki sushi that's sure to become a favorite. It's perfect for finger food or packing in your bento lunchbox!
Preparation: Cut nori sheets in half and mix the natto with the sauce.
Make sushi rice: Combine the sushi vinegar ingredients well, pour it over the rice in a bowl, and stir with a rice paddle until evenly.
Put sushi rice: Place the nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, place 1/2 rice paddle of sushi rice on the nori sheet, and spread it thinly, leaving about 1 cm at the end of the nori sheet.
Roll: Put natto on the rice and roll it while gently tightening with your fingers from the front.
Cut: After the nori sheet gets softened, wet your knife with a cloth and cut it into six equally.
Notes
Substitution: You can substitute sushi vinegar with seasoned rice vinegar.
If you spread the rice thinly, the natto will not stick out when you finish rolling.
Nori sheet has front and back. The smooth side is the front side, so wrap it with the front side down.
For small children, I recommend cutting the roll into eight evenly.
