How To Make Temaki Sushi (Hand Rolls)
When you ask people from overseas about their favorite Japanese food, most of the answers tend to be “Sushi.”
The word "Sushi" typically brings to mind "Nigiri-zushi," considered authentic sushi with raw fish on top and rice on the bottom, or "Maki-zushi," commonly known as sushi rolls in English. However, Japan offers various other types of sushi.
In this recipe, we will introduce you to one sushi style familiar to Japanese people: “Temaki-sushi”!
Temaki-sushi is a casual sushi style rolled by hand, often enjoyed at gatherings such as birthdays or family get-togethers. It's an ideal kind of sushi for making for a sushi party. Since the dish isn't completely prepared beforehand, you have the freedom to customize it to your liking. If you've never tried Temaki-sushi before, this unique experience will undoubtedly provide you with a fresh perspective on sushi culture!
When making Temaki-sushi, there are various ingredients to prepare, including raw fish, vegetables, pickles, cooked egg, etc., along with vinegar rice and Nori seaweed. If you're not familiar with raw fish, you can substitute them with fried chicken, boiled shrimp, bacon, sausage, etc. It's entirely okay to choose, so be creative and discover new ingredients that complement Temaki-sushi!
Each person should take a sheet of Nori seaweed, spread vinegar rice on it, and select their preferred ingredients to combine. You can choose whatever you like from the selection of ingredients and customize as you please. This element of choice and experimentation is what makes Temaki-sushi particularly enjoyable, as you can discover the best ingredient combinations.
