How to Make Sushi Maki with Daikon Wrap

Laocook demonstrates how to make Sushi Maki

The video starts out with a pop music for a dramatic effect.
Making a sushi roll is not that difficult, but have you tried making one with a daikon wrap?
This video shows you just that. A pretty cool technique.

What you need:
Nori sheets
Sushi rice
Cooked king prawns
Avocado
A bowl of water with a slice of lime

Place a sheet of nori on a sushi mat covered with a plastic wrap.
Layer the sushi rice on the rori sheet.
Cut the king prawns into pieces and place them on the rice.
Place the pieces of avocado on the rice as well.
Gently roll the sushi mat.

The chef also demonstrates an amazing daikon cutting technique.
Cut the daikon into a sheet and place it on the sushi mat.
Put the sushi roll on the top and gently roll the mat.
Cut the roll into six pieces and place the on a complementary plate.
