  • The longer the rolls sit, the more tender the nori will become, making it easier and more enjoyable to eat. We recommend letting the rolls sit for at least 10 minutes before slicing and eating.

Notes

Sticky Rice Directions:
  1. Rinse 1 cup of uncooked rice under cold water for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the rice to an Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water. Stir and make sure all of the rice is covered in water.
  3. Cook the rice under high pressure for 4 minutes and then naturally let the rice naturally release for 8 minutes. Release the rest of the pressure and fluff the rice.
  4. Set aside.
