How to Prepare Fried Temaki:
Prepare the rice: Start by cooking the sushi rice, and remember that it needs to be well cooled to make it easier to shape the temaki.
Prepare the filling: Mix the diced salmon with the mayonnaise, soy sauce, sesame oil and cream cheese. Stir well until you get a creamy and delicious filling.
Assemble the temaki: Cut the nori seaweed sheets in half and, with slightly wet hands, form a triangle with the seaweed. Place a portion of rice in the center of the sheet.
Add the filling: Place a spoonful of the salmon mixture in the center of the rice. Then roll the seaweed into a cone shape, forming the temaki.
Fry the temakis: Heat the oil in a frying pan until it is very hot. Add the temaki to fry, turning it over so that it crisps evenly. This step is crucial to ensure the perfect crispiness on the outside.
Drain the oil: Remove the temakis from the pan and place them on a plate with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
Serve and decorate: Serve immediately and, if desired, garnish with chopped chives or soy sauce. This fried temaki, crispy on the outside and filled with delicious cream on the inside, will win over everyone who tries it!
Healthy Version of Fried Temaki:
If you’re looking for a lighter and healthier version of fried temaki, I have a tip for you! Instead of frying, you can bake the temaki in the oven, and it will crisp up with much less oil. Another option is to replace the fried salmon with grilled fish or even use avocado for a vegetarian version.
