To create a hand roll, put nori (shiny side down) in the palm of one hand. Spread 14 cup of cooked sushi rice equally over half of the nori using wet hands. Place a little amount of fillings across the rice in a diagonal line.
Roll sushi gently into a cone form, and seal the cone's edge with the remaining rice grains.
In a medium bowl, mix all sauce ingredients together. Serve hand rolls beside sauce.
