Plate of baked sushi balls wrapped in nori with melted cheese and salmon roe

Ingredients

  • Sushi rice, cooked
  • 1 sheet nori
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • Salmon roe
  • Grated cheese
  • Any filling of choice

Instructions

  1. Mix the mayonnaise, grated cheese, soy sauce, and roe. Cook the rice and cool slightly (do not salt it).
  2. Cut the nori into 3 cm strips. Form small rice balls, wrap with a nori strip (dab with rice to seal), and tuck your chosen filling inside.
  3. Bake at 200°C (400°F) with convection for a few minutes until the tops bubble.

Tips

  • Keep the rice slightly warm so the balls hold together.
  • Do not overfill the balls or the nori may split.
  • Bake just until the tops bubble so they stay crisp.
