Cold Rice
Cool seasoned rice to body temperature before forming — hot rice breaks nori and burns hands.
Progressive Refinement
Work from coarse to fine — don't skip intermediate steps to save time.
Parasite Risk
Use sushi-grade fish frozen to FDA guidelines — never serve raw freshwater fish.
Safety Notes
- Parasite risk in raw fish — FDA freeze guidelines apply.
- Cross-contaminate — separate boards for raw fish.
