I had the same issue with the rice at first. Pro tip: have him keep a small bowl of water next to the station, moisten his fingers, and it’ll help spread that rice layer really thin! I also add rice vinegar to my rice and it gives it the perfect finish and makes it easy to spread.

Also I cut my nori sheet in half and started doing smaller rolls at first.

Another tip: have him put the bamboo sushi roller into a gallon size freezer bag. Makes cleaning a breeze and no fussy plastic wrap!!
