- Place strips (carrot, cucumber, egg, yellow pickled radish..) in the middle of the spread rice, and place other things within 1/3 of the length of sea laver.
- Roll sea laver with the mat firmly. If sea laver edge is not sticking on the surface, apply water lightly at the edge of sea laver with finger.
