Simple Tuna Makizushi

Actually I have practise doing this type of sushi but not really in success as is either I put the rice too many or the filling I have fill up too much.. lol. I can't rem this is how many times I have tried and finally I succeeded! My favourite flavour was tuna as during my ITE days, I like the stall which sell this type of sushi. I always eat it as my breakfast or during lunch time.

3.  Cook till the prawn is cooked. 

4.  Cool down the prawns in ice water.

5.  After 5 mins, take out the prawns and .  cut the prawns almost half(for me I cut the side where I slip open   the side to take out the vein.) Your prawns should look something like below:

6.  Alrite your prawns is ready to be serve with some Nigiri sushi.
