Easy Temari Sushi with Prosciutto and Shiso Hearts
- 10 slice Prosciutto
- 300 grams Cooked rice (warm)
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons Sushi vinegar
- 1 tbsp Toasted white sesame seeds
- 5 leaves Shiso leaves
- 1 to 2 drops for each Lemon juice (optional)
- Rinse the shiso leaves.
- Cut out heart shapes of a 2-cm-length in the middle using a pair of scissors.
- When you do this fold the shiso leaves in half first and cut out half-heart-shapes to make symmetric hearts.
- Make 10 heart shapes.
- Julienne the leftover shiso leaves and pat dry well with kitchen paper.
- (If the leaves are moist it makes lumps when they are mixed with the rice.)
- Drizzle sushi vinegar over the rice .
- Stir the rice using a cutting motion.
- After the rice is cooled, add the shiso leaves and sesame seeds.
- Place about 30 g of the sushi rice onto cling film and squeeze the cling film to make balls.
- (You can make 10 to 12 of them.)
- After making rice balls place the heart-shaped shiso leaves and prosciutto on top.
- Shape them into balls using cling film.
- Leave to sit for at least 10 minutes so that the sushi rice and prosciutto settle.
- I folded the crab sticks in half and made slits on the ends.
- I used them to decorate the dish with daikon radish sprouts in this picture.
- Sprinkle with lemon juice to your liking.
- You don't have to use top-quality prosciutto.
- I used a slightly cheaper one, like in the picture.
