1

Gather Your Ingredients

First things first, let's gather all the ingredients you'll need for your vegetarian Temaki Hand Rolls. You'll need sushi rice, nori sheets, a variety of fresh vegetables such as cucumber, carrot, radish, and bell pepper, some tofu or avocado, and don't forget the soy sauce and wasabi for dipping!

2

Prepare the Sushi Rice

Now it's time to cook the sushi rice. Rinse the rice thoroughly and cook it according to the package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly before using it for your hand rolls.

3

Slice and Dice

Next, let's prepare the vegetables. Slice the cucumber, carrot, radish, and bell pepper into thin strips. If you're using tofu, you can slice it into small cubes or strips. And if avocado is your filling of choice, simply peel and slice it.

4

Get Rolling

Now comes the fun part - rolling! Take a sheet of nori and place it on a clean surface. Wet your hands with a little water to prevent sticking, then grab a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly on the lower half of the nori sheet. Leave a small border at the bottom for sealing.

5

Add the Fillings

Time to load up your hand roll! Place a few strips of vegetables or tofu/avocado on top of the rice. Be generous with your fillings, but make sure not to overstuff the roll.

6

Roll It Up

Starting from the bottom, carefully roll the nori sheet into a cone shape, tucking in the fillings as you go. Use a bit of water to seal the edge of the nori and keep everything in place.

Dip and Enjoy

Congratulations, you've made your very own vegetarian Temaki Hand Roll! Serve it with some soy sauce and wasabi on the side for dipping. Take a big bite and savor the delicious combination of flavors and textures. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients for more mouthwatering rolls!
