Making Sushi Part 6: Sushi Roll Recipes

12/20/2019

 
When making sushi for friends and family, I enjoy surprising them with interesting rolls. Meal planning is required to create flavorful and colorful rolls. My wife and I often visit a local sushi restaurant for their specialty rolls. These sushi roll recipes are some of my favorite creations inspired by the restaurant.

Rainbow Roll
Ingredients: Cucumber, Avocado, Imitation Crab, Salmon, Tuna
1. Create a California Roll (imitation crab, avocado, and cucumber) as filling with rice on the outside1. Add sushi rice to a piece of seaweed paper (nori).
2. Before flipping over the rice covered seaweed paper, lay pieces of salmon and tuna widthwise along the top half. 
​3. Turn the rice and fish covered seaweed paper over and add the filling of imitation crab, avocado, and cucumber (California Roll).
​4. Follow the normal steps of rolling it together.

Volcano Roll
Ingredients: Cucumber, Avocado, Imitation Crab, Cooked Shrimp, Siracha, Mayonnaise
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees on BAKE.
2. Cut up pieces of jumbo cooked shrimp and mix in a bowl with Siracha Mayo (Siracha and mayonnaise mixed together). 
3. Spread the spicy mayo shrimp mixture on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil.
4. Bake the shrimp mixture in the oven for 15 minutes. 
5. When the shrimp is done cooking, add more of the spicy mayo to it and BROIL for 1-2 more minutes.
5. While the shrimp is backing, make a California Roll ​with imitation crab, avocado, and cucumber as filling with rice on the outside. Other fillings such as salmon or tuna instead can be substituted for imitation crab. This step is the same as making the Rainbow Roll without adding salmon and tuna to the outside.
​6. Plate the California Roll and spoon the shrimp mixture on top.
