Note

Ensure the rice is slightly warm or room temperature for easier rolling, but cool enough to handle.

Keep a bowl of water with a splash of vinegar nearby to wet your fingers and prevent rice from sticking.

For best texture, use fresh avocado and slice it just before assembling to prevent browning.

If the roast beef is tough, slice it thinly against the grain before quartering.

Serve immediately for the best texture of the nori; if storing, wrap tightly to keep the seaweed crisp.
