2.5 cups water brought to a boil, add 1 cup of sushi quality rice and 1 tbls butter, pinch of salt, simmer with lid on for 15-25 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff then chill rice.
1 lb smoked eel, hard membrane removed
1 lb sushi grade salmon sliced very thinly across the grain

4 pieces of surimi trimmed to uniform size
3 pieces nori 5x5 in size.
