Rolling mat

So you want to make a sushi roll? Well you're definitely going to need a bamboo rolling mat. These can be picked up for a couple of quid from many many places and are vital for rolling maki-zushi rolls. Try and find one that's rounded on one side and flat on the other. It'll be a touch more expensive but the results will be worth it.
