Vegetable Temakis
Julieta Fernández
According to what I read, “Temaki” means “hand-rolled.” It can contain the same ingredients as sushi, but it is prepared more easily because what we make is a cone of nori seaweed filled with rice and the seasonings we like. In this case, we will use cucumber, avocado, and carrot as a base. But you can add whatever you like.

  • The rice: This may be the most difficult part, but we shouldn't be afraid. It’s good to clarify that the ideal is to make it a few hours in advance, even a day before, so we can eat them well chilled. The first and most important thing is to WASH it patiently.
  • I suggest placing the rice in a bowl, adding plenty of cold water, and mixing it gently with your hand to release the starch. Then drain and rinse it a little. This should be repeated about 5 or 6 times, until the water runs practically clear.
  • To cook it, it is ideal to get a rice cooker because, although it sometimes seems like a big investment, if you like rice, it will be worth having one at home. It makes everything easier.
  • Once the rice is ready, we will place it in a large bowl and fan it with a plastic plate or the lid of a Tupperware to start cooling it down.
  • Next, we will add the vinegar (1/2 cup at most, generally ¼ is enough), salt, and sugar. It is important to clarify that this has a very personal touch. It’s better to add a little at a time (slowly stirring with a wooden spoon) and taste the rice before adding it all. When you like the flavor, it’s ready! Let it cool, and then it can go in the refrigerator.
  • Form cones with the seaweed, putting a little water on the edge so it sticks well. Fill with rice and julienne carrots, avocado, cucumber, or the vegetables you desire. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
