Description

Sushi Hand Roll – learn how to make a sushi hand roll with this easy, step-by-step tutorial (with photos). So easy and so good!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 nori sheet, halved
  • 1/2 cup sushi rice
  • wasabi (optional)
  • sushi-grade salmon or tuna (a thick strip of it)
  • 1 slice avocado
  • 1 slice cucumber
  • small bunch of matchstick carrots

Instructions

  1. Pick up your piece of nori and lay flat across your left hand (rough side up). 
  2. Take a spoonful or two of sushi rice and place it on the left side of the nori; use the back of the spoon to flatten so it fills about the whole left side of the piece of nori.
  3. Place a little wasabi (if using) down the middle of the rice. 
  4. Add fillings like tuna, cucumber and avocado.
  5. Fold the bottom-left corner of the nori sheet over the middle of the ingredients and hold it down with your thumb.
  6. Use your fingers to roll the nori into a cone shape. You may need to use a bit of water to get the end of the nori sheet wet so it sticks to itself. 
  7. Serve with soy sauce, if desired.
