Preparation method for fried temaki:
Prepare the rice: Start by cooking the sushi rice, and remember that it needs to be well chilled to make shaping the temaki easier.
Prepare the filling: Mix the diced salmon with the mayonnaise, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cream cheese. Stir well until you obtain a creamy and delicious filling.
Assemble the temaki: Cut the nori seaweed sheets in half and, with slightly damp 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 to form the temaki.
Fry the temaki: Heat the oil in a frying pan until very hot. Place the temaki in the pan and fry, turning it so that it crisps evenly. This step is crucial to ensure perfect crispiness on the outside.
Drain the oil: Remove the temaki from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve and decorate: Serve immediately, and if desired, garnish with chopped scallions or soy sauce. The fried temaki, crispy on the outside and filled with delicious cream on the inside, will win over everyone who tries it!
