Who knew it would be so easy to make California Rolls? Cook some brown rice, chop a few veggies and roll them up. That is, once you get the hang of rolling, which does take a little practice. Anyone can do this, though it does require a sushi rolling mat and a little perseverance. Great for entertaining!
