Temaki sushi (sushi balls)

Making sushi and rolls at home requires a lot of patience, not to mention the need for a bamboo mat and other equipment. But temaki sushi is very easy to prepare - it’s just balls of seaweed that can be filled with any suitable filling. They say that temaki sushi was invented almost by accident when chefs ran out of ingredients for classic sushi. Then they simply wrapped the nori into a cone and put the remaining food in it.

Steps:

1. 
   Rinse the sushi rice. Divide each nori sheet into 2 parts to make 6 sheets. Cut the salmon into thin slices. Wash the cucumber, dry it, peel it and cut it into strips. Wash the bell pepper, remove the stem and seeds, then also cut into strips. Wash the green onions, dry and cut into rings. Fill a piping bag with Philadelphia cheese.
2. 
   Prepare the rice. Boil the washed rice over low heat for 15 minutes. Then turn off the stove, place a few paper towels between the lid and the pan and leave for 15 minutes. This way, all the steam will be absorbed into the towels, and the rice will be crumbly. Mix vinegar, salt and sugar, heat in a microwave oven or in a water bath until the sugar and salt dissolve. Pour the marinade into the rice and stir, then let it cool.
3. 
   Make sushi. Cover a wooden board with cling film. Then take 1 sheet of nori and place it on the film, rough side up. Place 2 tbsp on nori. l. spoons of boiled rice, spread on half a sheet of nori. Squeeze a strip of cream cheese into the middle of the rice, top with 2 pieces of fish, pepper, cucumber and sprinkle with green onions. Wrap the nori sheet into a bag. Cover the tip of the bag with several grains of rice. Fill and roll the remaining nori sheets in the same way.
4. 
   Place the temaki sushi on a black rectangular plate, place a heap of ginger next to it, a gravy boat with soy sauce and squeeze out the wasabi using a pastry syringe or spoon.
