Pismo's Note:

I tried making this after watching the Good Eats episode "Wake Up Little Sushi" with Alton Brown. It turned out really great. The original recipe called for 1 tbsp of kosher salt, but some reviewers said that it was way too much and that 1 tsp was plenty. I made this using only 1 tsp of kosher salt, so that is how I've posted it here.
