Ingredients

60 g Prepared Sushi rice
60 g
Tobiko (flying fish roe) 
3 Strips of nori (each strip 1/6 of a sheet)

Step by step

Just mix 60g cooked rice with  tablespoon of sushi rice vinegar.
Wrap the nori around the rice clump, leaving about half an inch nori strip above the rice.
Attach the end of nori strip to the maki with water or with rice grains. Cut off the remaining part of the strip.
Press on the rice with your thumb to compact it and shape the maki — traditional gunkan-maki has the shape of a boat.
Fill the gunkan-maki with tobiko.
Serve with soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger.
