Temari Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl and let it cool slightly.
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour the mixture over the warm rice and gently fold it in using a spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Form Temari Sushi
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of sushi rice (about 2 tablespoons) and flatten it in your palm. Place a piece of fish and a few strips of cucumber and avocado in the center. Mold the rice around the filling to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Garnish and Serve
Cut the nori sheets into thin strips. Wrap a strip around each temari sushi ball. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
