Making Sushi at the Riu Palace Hotel

View Video

Recently we visited the gorgeous Riu Palace Hotel in Costa Rica and I was lucky enough to get the Executive Chef to show me how to make two kinds of sushi - the Spider roll and the California roll. I didn't record the exact measurements and weights of the ingredients, but if you look at the video it's easy to replicate once you know the process. Enjoy!
