    I’m guessing the black stuff surrounding the rice is seaweed.
    I wanted to make something like that with the rice I cooked today!

    use Japanese rice which you can get it from Asian market….for sticky…u have to add vinegar once it is cooked….and spread and mix over the cooked rice…

  21. spucy says:

    Walmart has sushi rice, at least here they do. Try nishiki brand it’s really sticky.
