Cut a sheet of nori in half and place it in the palm of your hand, diagonal (shiny side down).
Place about ¼ cup of sushi rice toward the left side and spread it out.
Add the shiso leaves, a smear of the wasabi mayonnaise, cucumber, radish, avocado and sashimi (being careful not to overfill).
Roll the bottom left corner up toward the middle to create a cone. Secure the nori with a little sushi rice or water.
Sprinkle salmon roe and radish sprouts in the top of the hand roll and serve.

Mix the wasabi and mayonnaise together well. Add more or less wasabi as desired.

1. Wet your fingers before pressing the rice onto the nori to prevent it from sticking to your hands.

1. Be sure to buy fresh sashimi/sushi quality fish (or fish meant to be eaten raw). Ask the fishmonger if is is meant to be eaten raw to make sure.

1. Use small amounts of fillings to ensure you don't overfill your hand roll (this makes it hard and messy to eat).

1. Make it vegan by using vegetables only and replacing the mayonnaise with vegan mayonnaise.
