- Place seaweed sheet on rolling mat, and , using a spoon or sushi paddle soaked in water, spread rice into a thin layer over entire seaweed sheet. Its often handy to keep a small bowl of cool water off to the side to keep spoon or paddle from clotting up with rice.
- Place half strips of cooked bacon on bottom half of rice covered seaweed sheet, 3/4 of an inch from bottom edge.

- Begin rolling with both hands supporting the sheet, up from the bottom.
- When roll has completed its first full rotation, bring mat up and continue to roll with bamboo mat.
- Using your entire hand, tighten and compress the roll in the bamboo mat.
- When the roll is fully rolled and just tight enough to starin contents at both ends, place in refrigerator or freeze for 15 minutes.
- With an extremely sharp knife, cut seaweed into sections under 1″ thick. If knife begins to stick, rinse with cold water
- Serve with Unagi on eel and soy on Crab, with wasabi paste on the side.
