Temari Sushi Balls

Directions

1. The only thing you actually have to make is the sushi rice. There are many options for the toppings, so you are not forced to use raw fish for Temari sushi, but we would still recommend to use sushi rice, since plain rice with food on top will surely taste pretty bland and boring. Follow the instructions from Make My Sushi to get the result needed.
2. As explained before in the ingredients list, you can choose between so many things to put on top. We bought in sushi grade salmon and red snapper to have contrasting colors, but there is so much you can choose from. You can actually use boiled shrimp or crab, smoked salmon or even grilled meat if you are not that into raw fish. Anything that’s cooked will work.
3. If you rather prefer a vegan or vegetarian option, you can also use Temari Sushi with your veggies of choice. Grill them, or roast them so they are tender, or proceed with fresh vegetables as well. Whatever it is that you end up choosing, though, put that on a plastic wrap, followed by a little bit of sushi rice over. Twist the plastic wrap and close on the top, making a ball. That’s all there is to it! The important thing, if you want it to look pretty, is to make it small and let the food cover most of the rice. Use enough rice so that when you stand over it, you won’t see it from the top. If you are detail-freaks like us, try also to make each ball the same size. With that, you can easier play with the arrangement of the Temari Sushi and get creative. Make sure to have a little soy sauce on the side, to add some extra flavor to it.
