Maki is a type of sushi roll that includes toasted seaweed nori rolled around vinegar-flavored rice and various fillings, including raw seafood and vegetables. The word maki means âroll.â There are a variety of types, including uramaki which is complex and requires the attention of a skilled chef.
Two Common Types of Sushi. Nigiri: A slice of raw or cooked fish or shellfish pressed onto a mound of vinegared rice, with a little wasabi (think the strongest of horseradishes) in between. Maki: Layers of raw or cooked fish or shellfish, vegetables and vinegared rice on a sheet of dried sea kelp rolled into a cylinder then cut into pieces. Temaki follows a similar setup but uses only a half sheet of dried sea kelp wrapped around the ingredients like a cone; also known as a hand roll.
