Our friend Nanae came over last night to teach us how to cook Japanese food. The okonomi yaki was a new experience and was delicious. We love sushi but our budget only allows for it once a month. Now that we know how to make it at home we can enjoy it more often… if we can just find some eel sauce.
Sushi 
2 c uncooked sushi rice
rice vinegard
seaweed
various items to roll inside- we used tuna, avocado, lettuce, salmon
Clean rice and cook in rice cooker. Put rice in a glass or ceramic bowl and add rice vinegar to taste. Let rice cool a bit. Place a piece of seaweed on a sushi rolling mat. Spread a thin layer of rice on top of seaweed, leaving approximately one inch at the top without rice. Add other fillings (lettuce, salmon, avocado, tuna, etc) in the center of the seaweed. Roll with mat and slice.
