Hand Roll Sushi (Temaki)
Hand Roll Sushi (Temaki) consists of nori sheets cut in half, filled with cooked sushi rice and a variety of fillings such as carrot, cucumber, avocado, and smoked salmon, then rolled into a cone shape. This format allows for easy assembly and customization, with a combination of creamy, crunchy, and smoky textures offering a balanced sushi experience.
Ingredients
- 640 g sushi rice cooked
- 4 heet nori
- 1 carrot cut into thin strips
- 0.25 cucumber cut into thin strips
- 1 avocado cut into thin strips
- 60 g smoked salmon cut into thin strips
Instructions
- Slice the nori sheets in half to make two rectangles per sheet.
- Divide the cooked sushi rice between the nori, spreading it over half the rectangle. Leave a ½ inch gap at the side of the rice.
- Place the fillings diagonally across the rice.
- From the corner that has the rice but no filling, roll in a diagonal direction over the filling and round to the uncovered side to make a cone.
- Repeat with all the nori. You can vary the filling combinations.
Notes
- To get 640g cooked sushi rice, start with about 210g raw rice; divide cooked rice by 3 to adjust raw rice amount for serving changes.
- These hand rolls work well for group settings where guests assemble their own rolls with preferred fillings.
- Always place nori shiny side down to help the rice stick and improve appearance.
- Make sure sushi rice is fully cooled before use to prevent soggy nori sheets.
- Handle sticky rice with wet hands or a spoon for easier spreading and rolling.
- If needed, gently rub water on the edge of the nori to help seal the cone shape.
