1

Gather the Goodies

Round up all the necessary ingredients for your upgraded Temaki Hand Rolls. You'll need sushi rice, nori seaweed sheets, a variety of fresh vegetables (cucumber, avocado, and carrot work great), your choice of protein (think smoked salmon, tempura shrimp, or grilled tofu), and some tasty sauces (like soy sauce and spicy mayo).

2

Prepare the Perfect Rice

Cook your sushi rice according to the package instructions and let it cool to room temperature. Properly cooked and seasoned rice is the foundation of a fantastic Temaki Hand Roll.

3

Get Rolling

Place a sheet of nori seaweed on a clean surface. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then grab a small handful of sushi rice and evenly spread it over the bottom two-thirds of the nori. Leave some space at the bottom edge to seal the roll.

4

Fill It Up

Now comes the fun part! Layer your favorite fillings on top of the rice. Get creative with combinations like avocado and smoked salmon, or tempura shrimp and cucumber. Let your taste buds be your guide!

5

Roll and Seal

Start rolling from the bottom, using your hands to gently tuck and tighten the ingredients into a neat cone shape. Moisten the top edge of the nori with water to seal the roll.

6

Slice and Serve

Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled Temaki Hand Roll into bite-sized pieces. Arrange them on a platter and serve with soy sauce, spicy mayo, or any other condiments you love. Watch your guests' faces light up as they enjoy your elevated sushi creation!
