1

Gather Your Ingredients

The key to a delicious temaki hand roll is using the freshest and most flavorful ingredients. Gather your nori sheets, sushi rice, your choice of fillings (such as fresh fish, avocado, cucumber, and sesame seeds), and condiments like soy sauce and wasabi.

2

Prepare the Sushi Rice

Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions, and let it cool slightly. In a separate bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Once the rice is slightly cooled, pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and gently mix to combine. Let the rice cool completely before using.

3

Prepare the Fillings

If using fresh fish, make sure to slice it into thin, bite-sized pieces. Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips. Cut the cucumber into matchstick-sized pieces. Toast some sesame seeds, if desired, for added flavor and texture.

4

Roll the Hand Rolls

Place a sheet of nori on a clean, flat surface. Dip your fingertips in water to prevent the rice from sticking. Take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over one half of the nori sheet, leaving a small border at the top. Add your desired fillings to the center of the rice. Starting from the bottom corner, roll the nori tightly into a cone shape, tucking in the fillings as you go. Wet the top border of the nori to seal the hand roll.

Serve and Enjoy

Once you've rolled all your hand rolls, arrange them on a platter and serve with soy sauce and wasabi. Take a moment to admire your beautiful creations, then dig in! Enjoy the delicious flavors and the satisfaction of mastering the art of Temaki Hand Roll rolling.
