Popular Maki Sushi Rolls

Maki is a type of Sushi which is made in a roll with sushi rice, toasted seaweed nori, and various fillings. The word maki means “roll,” and most people who have eaten sushi have consumed maki in some form or another. Some forms of maki, such as uramaki, are complex, requiring the attention of a skilled chef. 

Maki sushi comes in several varieties, depending on how thick the roll is and how the roll is constructed. The most common form is hosomaki, or thin rolls. Thin rolls are made by making a small strip of sushi rice and one or two ingredients along one edge of a sheet of nori and then rolling it up tightly to form a slender roll.
