              2. Wet your right hand (or left hand, if you are left-handed) in the bowl of vinegar water, and
              use it to scoop up a ball of rice.
              3. Spread the rice out in an even layer on one side of the  nori  .
              4. Sprinkle a line of  wasabi  (horseradish powder) down the center of the rice.
              5. Arrange the strips of vegetables and seafood over the line of  wasabi  .
              6. Using the mat to support the  nori  , lift one end of the mat to gently roll the  nori  over the
              rice and other ingredients.
              7. Use gentle pressure to compact the rice and other ingredients so that they hold together.
              8. Continue rolling until a long cylinder is formed, completely encased in  nori  .
              9. Carefully slice through the  nori  and other ingredients to make the bites of  sushi  .
