Description

Learn to make delicious and customizable Dragon Rolls at home for a fun and rewarding sushi experience.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 4 sheets nori
  • 1 cucumber, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp or crab meat
  • 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds


Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Season it with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt while it’s still warm.
  3. Prepare the fillings by slicing cucumber and avocado into strips.
  4. Lay a bamboo mat covered with plastic wrap on your workspace and place a sheet of nori on the mat with the shiny side facing down.
  5. Spread about 1 cup of sushi rice over two-thirds of the nori sheet.
  6. Add shrimp or crab, cucumber, and avocado along the center of the rice-covered nori and drizzle with sriracha sauce.
  7. Using the bamboo mat, roll the nori tightly to form a cylindrical shape.
  8. Use a sharp knife dipped in water to slice the roll into eight pieces.

Notes

Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, or extra sriracha for dipping. Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator and consume within a day.
