Cut off the stems of the shiitake mushrooms.

Cut the shiitake mushrooms into thin slices.

For the surimi, cut it into 1 cm wide strips.
The assembly of the ehomaki
Place the nori shiny side down on your makisu.
Wet your fingers and spread your vinegared rice on the nori sheet. Leave about 2 cm on top without rice so you can close the roll afterwards. On this free nori strip, you can put some of the sushi vinegar you made at the beginning to make it stick.
Add your ingredients, cucumber, surimi, shiitake mushrooms, omelette...
Roll up thanks to the makisu until the end by tightening well. The maki roll will be formed, you just have to cut the edges and your ehomaki is ready!
