Temari
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. Be sure to involve teenagers and children in the preparation — they’ll enjoy shaping the juicy rice balls. Ideally, the lightly salted salmon should be chilled and the rice slightly warm. Then it sticks together well and holds its shape. Serve with greens and sauce.
