Description
Delicious homemade Dragon Rolls featuring vinegared sushi rice, spicy shrimp or crab, crunchy cucumber, and silky avocado.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice (uncooked; yields about 4 cups cooked)
- 4 sheets nori (shiny side out when rolling)
- 1 cucumber, cut into long, thin strips
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced thinly
- 1 cup cooked shrimp or crab meat, shredded or chopped
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce (plus extra for serving if desired)
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- Bamboo sushi rolling mat and plastic wrap
- Small bowl of water (to wet hands and knife)
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Cook per package directions.
- Transfer rice to a bowl to cool faster. While warm, fold in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.
- Prepare fillings: slice cucumber and avocado, and mix seafood with sriracha.
- Wrap the bamboo mat in plastic wrap. Place one nori sheet on the mat.
- Wet your hands and spread sushi rice over two-thirds of the nori.
- Arrange the seafood, cucumber, and avocado along the center and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Roll the sushi tightly and seal the edge.
- Slice with a wet knife and serve immediately with extra sauce.
Notes
Cooked shrimp and crab work well. For gluten-free, confirm your sriracha and other condiments are GF.
