Description

🍣🌿 Homemade Temaki (Hand-Rolled Sushi) 🌿🍣


Ingredients

Scale

Sushi Rice Seasoning:

  • 60 mL rice vinegar (1/4 cup)
  • 25 g sugar (2 tablespoons)
  • 6 g salt (1 teaspoon)

Fillings:

  • 6 sheets nori (seaweed), each sheet cut in half
  • 225 g sashimi-grade fish (salmon, tuna, or both), thinly sliced (1/2 pound)
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced
  • 1 medium cucumber, julienned
  • 100 g imitation crab or real crab meat (1 cup)
  • 60 mL mayonnaise (1/4 cup)
  • 5 mL sriracha (1 teaspoon, optional for spicy mayo)
  • Pickled ginger (optional, to taste)
  • Wasabi (optional, to taste)

Garnish:

  • Soy sauce, for dipping (to taste)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sushi Rice:

    • Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
    • Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
    • In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture while the rice is still hot. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
  2. Prepare the Fillings:

    • Thinly slice the sashimi-grade fish, cucumber, and avocado.
    • Mix mayonnaise with sriracha for spicy mayo, if desired.
  3. Assemble the Temaki:

    • Lay a half sheet of nori, shiny side down, on your palm.
    • Spread a thin layer of sushi rice on the left side of the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top for folding.
    • Place your choice of fillings diagonally across the rice (e.g., a slice of fish, cucumber, avocado, and a drizzle of spicy mayo).
  4. Roll the Temaki:

    • Fold the bottom left corner of the nori over the fillings, then roll it into a cone shape. Use a grain of rice to “seal” the edge if needed.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make additional hand rolls.
    • Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
