- Arrange a few slices of fish, avocado, and cucumber in the center of the rice.
- Add a small amount of pickled ginger and a dab of wasabi to taste.
- Starting from the bottom corner, roll the nori and rice over the filling, tucking and rolling tightly to form a cone shape.
- Dip your finger in water and moisten the edge of the nori to seal the temaki roll.

- Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.
- Serve with soy sauce for dipping and enjoy immediately.
Temaki, also known as hand-rolled sushi, originated in Japan and has a rich history dating back to the early 19th century. This popular dish was traditionally prepared by skilled sushi chefs in coastal regions, using the freshest seafood and locally sourced ingredients. The art of crafting temaki has been passed down through generations, with each chef adding their own unique flair to the dish. Today, the best temaki can be found in authentic Japanese restaurants, particularly in regions renowned for their seafood, such as Hokkaido and Tsukiji. The key to a perfect temaki lies in the freshness of the ingredients and the skillful rolling technique, ensuring a delightful burst of flavors in every bite. For a twist, consider trying a vegan temaki with fresh vegetables and tofu for a delightful alternative.
