Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup cooked salmon flaked
  • 2 sheets nori cut into strips
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Let the cooked rice cool just enough to handle, then sprinkle with salt.
  2. Wet your hands and scoop a portion of rice into your palm.
  3. Press a little flaked salmon into the center and mold the rice around it.
  4. Shape the rice into a firm triangle, pressing the edges.
  5. Wrap a strip of nori around the base and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Notes

Keep your hands damp and lightly salted so the rice doesn't stick.
