Attention: This recipe is for making 8 rolls.

5
Once you've made the California rolls, let them rest (over 10 minutes).
-
6
Prepare the ingredients that will wrap the California roll.
-
7
Slice the ingredients as thin and long as you can.
-
8
It will be easier to roll and also look prettier.

Getting a block of sashimi and cutting it yourself is easier.
-
10
Slice the avocado very thinly.
-
11
To avoid browning, and to add flavor, sprinkle with lemon juice.
-
12
Place some plastic wrap onto a sushi mat.
-
13
Arrange the ingredients diagonally on the wrap, starting with avocado tuna avocado salmon in that order.
-
14
As seen in the left picture, I used 3 pieces of tuna and 2 pieces of salmon this time.

15
Carefully remove the plastic wrap from the California roll.
-
16
Place the California roll at the center of the outer ingredients.
-
17
Roll the two together.
-
18
Imagine lifting the side closer to you upwards as you roll it away from you.
-
19
Be careful not to wrap the plastic wrap into the roll.
-
20
Press and shape the roll over the sushi mat.
-
21
Remove the sushi mat.
-
22
Leave the plastic wrap on and let the roll settle for a while.
-
23
The reason why you arrange the ingredients diagonally in Step 6 is because if you cut the roll you'd get more ingredients in every piece.
-
24
Plus it'll look more pretty and fun.
-
25
Cut the roll over the plastic wrap.
-
26
Hold the roll with your left hand (if you are right-handed).
-
27
Make the first cut firmly and diagonally into the roll.
-
28
If you hesitate here, the cutting edge will get squashed.
-
29
Once you've made a slit, concentrate on pushing the knife forward to make a clean cut.
-

Since it's a Rainbow roll, arrange the pieces in a rainbow-shaped arch.
-
31
Top with flying fish roe and mayonnaise if you'd like.
-
32
It's also good if you arrange them diagonally so all the ingredients show.
