Small rolls can be filled with just about anything you’d like. You can line chopped tuna to make tekka sushi, or lay long and thin cucumber sticks in the middle to make kappa maki. How about mixing chopped salmon and spicy mayonnaise for the centre? Or pickled plum paste (umejiso)? Anything goes. Even cooked and chopped chicken. Get creative!
