Recipe FAQS
A hand roll is a cone shaped individual serving of sushi. This recipe is not a traditional hand roll.
The primary distinction between these two sushi varieties lies in the fact that maki rolls are cylindrical rolls sliced into bite-sized pieces, while temaki consists of hand-rolled cones or logs intended to be bitten into.
Yes tuna is full of protein and vitamins. Since it does have a higher mercury content you should not consume it every day.
