    Tamago Nigiri

    The use of crepe-like omelette sheets cuts the preparation time in half but delivers the same flavor as that of a traditional Japanese rolled omelette log. Try sprinkling each piece with Basic, Tomato or Curry Furikake Seasoning .

    Rice Prep Time: Up to 1½ hours
    Sushi Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Makes about 12 pieces

    12 Japanese Omelette Sheets
    One 4 x 7-in (10 x 18-cm) nori sheet
    1½ cups (300 g) Traditional Sushi Rice or Brown Sushi Rice

    Cut each omelette into matchstick-thin strips. Cut the sheet of nori crosswise into 12 strips.
    Dip your fingertips in water and splash some across your palms. Squeeze a walnut-sized ball of the sushi rice, about 2 tablespoons, in your hand to form a neat rectangular bed of rice. Repeat to make 12 beds of rice in all.
    Divide the omelette into 12 piles.
    Top each bed of rice with a heap of the omelette strips. Wrap a strip of nori around each piece of rice to secure the omelette strips in place.
