Hand Roll Sushi
Temaki Sushi also known as Hand Roll Sushi is a rolled cone of seaweed around sushi rice and fillings. The technique to make sushi hand rolls is easy and no special equipment is needed.
Just like my sushi balls or sushi bowls you get all the flavours and textures of sushi without the pressure of forming the perfect roll with a bamboo mat.

Step-by-step instructions
Below are illustrated step-by-step instructions to make my Hand Roll Sushi recipe, if you prefer just the written instructions then head straight to the printable recipe card below.
Step one: Start by cutting a nori sheet in half. Lay the nori sheet shiny side down onto your bench or counter top.
Step two: Place approximately a ¼ cup of cooked sushi rice on the ½ of the nori. You want a square of rice covered nori. Use a knife or spatula to squash and spread the rice to cover the nori.
Step three: Lay your chosen sushi toppings on top of the rice on an angle, so that they run from the top right hand corner of the rice to bottom left hand corner.
Step four: Sprinkle some water on the empty side of the nori sheet, roll your sushi into a cone starting from the bottom right hand corner of the rice covered nori.
