Temaki Sushi (Hand Rolls)

Temaki Sushi (手巻き寿司) literally means "hand rolled sushi". As the name implies Temaki Sushi is rolled by hand, so there's no need for any special equipment like a sushi mat. Just add some sushi rice to a sheet of nori, pile on your favorite fillings, and roll it up like a bouquet of sushi with your hands.
