How To Make Temaki

Step 1: You will need

Step 2: Prepare the fish

Take a rectangle of salmon and slice it diagonally. Turn one piece around so they lie with the wide ends together, in a cone shape.

Step 3: Prepare the base

Before you start dry your hands thoroughly. Any moisture will make the nori soggy.

Place the nori in the palm of one hand, and cover half with a thin layer of rice. Dip your fingers in water first to make the sticky rice easier to handle .

Step 4: Add the fillings

First, add a sprinkling of sesame seeds.

Then lay the salmon pieces on top in their cone shape.

Lastly, add the avocado

Step 5: Rolling the Temaki

Carefully, bend your hand causing the Nori to fold in on itself. Tuck the end in and roll the Nori up to make a cone shape.

To keep the cone together take one kernel of rice and squash it into the corner. This will stick the end down, holding the Nori in position.

Eat the Temaki as soon as it is prepared, when the Nori is still crisp – the crisper it is, the better.
