  6. When rice is cooked season and fold until well mixed. Allow to cool.
  7. Toast seaweed sheets for no more than 2 minutes.
  8. On a cutting surface, lay out bamboo sushi rolling mat. (if you cannot find one, you can use a sheet of plastic wrap, but the sushi will not turn out as well)
  9. 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.
  10. Place half strips of cooked bacon on bottom half of rice covered seaweed sheet, 3/4 of an inch from bottom edge.
  11. Place crab sticks or eel and carrot or avocado next to crab or eel.
  12. Begin rolling with both hands supporting the sheet, up from the bottom.
  13. When roll has completed its first full rotation, bring mat up and continue to roll with bamboo mat.
  14. Using your entire hand, tighten and compress the roll in the bamboo mat.
  15. When the roll is fully rolled and just tight enough to starin contents at both ends, place in refrigerator or freeze for 15 minutes.
  16. With an extremely sharp knife, cut seaweed into sections under 1″ thick. If knife begins to stick, rinse with cold water
  17. Serve with Unagi on eel and soy on Crab, with wasabi paste on the side.
