How to assemble and wrap
- Place a seaweed sheet in a diamond shape on a flat surface. Add half of the rice in the center and spread it into a square shape, then spread the sauce on top.
- Layer the filling ingredients: place moist ingredients such as tomato and cucumber in the middle to keep the rice and seaweed from getting too soggy. Spread more sauce on top and cover with the other half of the rice.
- Fold the bottom up and the two sides toward the center, tightly tucking in the corners. Then fold the top over and seal with a few grains of rice. To serve, turn the seam side down and cut in half horizontally. If necessary, you can use plastic wrap to hold the shape.
