Hand roll sushi is a very popular sushi dish in Japanese home cooking. You need Sushi Rice and sheets of roasted seaweed (sushi nori), but the rest of the ingredients can be just about anything imaginable.
Tuna salad and cucumber were used as fillings for this recipe here, but we also suggest smoked salmon and cream cheese, pan-fried rolled omelet (tamago-yaki), avocado, and lettuce. If you are a more advanced Japanese food person, of course you can use your favorite raw fish, too.
With all the ingredients laid out on the table, people can make their own hand rolls how they like as they eat. It is a perfect food for entertaining friends and families!
