New Sushi Recipe: Tropical Fusion Sushi Roll 🍍🍣

Ingredients:

• For the rice:

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 ¼ cups water
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt

• For the filling:

  • 1 ripe mango, thinly sliced
  • 1 small avocado, thinly sliced
  • 100g cooked shrimp or crab meat
  • 1 small cucumber, julienned
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional for a refreshing twist)

• For assembly:

  • 4 sheets of nori (seaweed)
  • Soy sauce for dipping
  • Pickled ginger and wasabi (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the rice:

   • Rinse sushi rice until the water runs clear.
   • Cook the rice with water in a rice cooker or on the stovetop.
   • Once cooked, let it cool slightly, then mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt into the rice.

2. Prepare the fillings:

   • Slice mango, avocado, and cucumber into thin, uniform strips.
   • Shred or slice the shrimp/crab meat.

3. Assemble the sushi rolls:

   • Place a bamboo mat (wrapped in plastic wrap) on a flat surface.
   • Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat.
   • Spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch gap at the top.
   • Arrange mango, avocado, cucumber, shrimp/crab meat, and mint leaves horizontally across the center.

4. Roll the sushi:

   • Use the bamboo mat to gently roll the nori into a tight cylinder, pressing firmly to secure the filling.
   • Seal the roll by dampening the uncovered edge of nori with water and pressing it closed.

5. Slice and serve:

   • Slice the roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife dipped in water to prevent sticking.
   • Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.

Optional Garnish:

• Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds or drizzle a little sriracha mayo for extra flavor.
