Temaki Sushi
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- Assorted fillings (e.g. sashimi-grade fish, avocado, cucumber, crab sticks, pickled radish, etc.)
- Soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger for serving
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture to coat the rice. Let it cool to room temperature.
- Prepare the fillings by slicing them into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
- Place a sheet of nori on a clean, dry surface. Moisten your hands with water and take a small handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the bottom half of the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the bottom.
- Arrange the fillings diagonally across the rice. Be careful not to overfill the temaki.
- Starting from the bottom corner, roll the nori sheet over the fillings, tucking and rolling it into a cone shape. Moisten the edge of the nori to seal the temaki.
- Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
- Serve the temaki sushi with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger. Enjoy your hand-rolled sushi!
