Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free sushi rice
- 2.5 cups Water
- 4 tablespoons Gluten-free rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 10 sheets Gluten-free nori sheets (seaweed)
- 1 pound Fresh sashimi-grade fish (e.g., salmon, tuna)
- 1 whole Cucumber (thinly sliced into strips)
- 1 whole Avocado (sliced)
- 1 whole Carrot (julienned)
- 8 pieces Cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 0.25 cup Pickled ginger
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free soy sauce or tamari (for dipping)
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Combine the rinsed rice and 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or over medium heat on the stove until all the water is absorbed (approximately 15-20 minutes).
While the rice is cooking, prepare the sushi vinegar by mixing the gluten-free rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until the sugar and salt dissolve.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Gently fold in the sushi vinegar mixture while fanning the rice with a fan or piece of cardboard to cool it quickly. Allow the rice to come to room temperature.
Slice the fresh sashimi-grade fish, cucumber, avocado, and carrot into thin, bite-sized strips suitable for rolling.
To assemble the temaki sushi, take one nori sheet and cut it in half to make two rectangular pieces.
Place one piece of nori shiny side down in your hand. Spread a small scoop of sushi rice (about 2 tablespoons) onto the left side of the nori. Press it down gently to create a thin layer, leaving space around the edges.
Add your desired fillings (e.g., fish, cucumber, avocado, carrot) on top of the rice. Be careful not to overfill.
Roll the nori around the fillings in a cone shape, starting from the bottom left corner and rolling diagonally toward the opposite corner. Use a tiny bit of rice as glue to seal the edge.
Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients until all the temaki sushi are assembled.
Serve immediately with pickled ginger, gluten-free soy sauce or tamari, and wasabi (if desired). Enjoy!
