Temaki sushi ( cone shaped)



These cone shaped sushi are a lot of fun, you can put anything you want in them ( we put in radish sprouts and roe). The hardest part is getting the roll down; this great website has step by step directions.

7.Using a bamboo sushi roller or a piece of tin foil, lay the dried seaweed shiny side down.


8.Spread about ½ cup of rice onto 2/3 of the seaweed, leaving the top 1/3 bare (if you moisten your fingers or a spoon to pat down the rice, you'll get less of a sticky mess).


9.Lay the first ingredient down around 1/3 of the way up from the bottom of the seaweed.


10.Lay the other fillings down on top.


11.Roll from the bottom (as if you're rolling a sleeping bag), pressing down to make the fillings stay in.


12.As you continue to roll, pull the whole thing down towards the end of the bamboo mat.


13.Spread a tiny dab of water along the top seam to hold the roll together.
