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.
Sashimiâ Sashimi are slices of raw fish enjoyed with a side of soy sauce for dipping. It is not really âsushiâ per se, but it is commonly eaten at sushi restaurants because itâs basically nigiri without the rice. Tekka Makiâ These are mini maki rolls. They are smaller, so normally have one ingredient in the middle. Common tekka maki rolls are maguro (tuna), cucumber, and takuan (yellow pickled vegetable). A cucumber tekka maki might be a good one for a sushi-newbie to start with.
