Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice, cooked and seasoned
- 4 nori sheets
- 1/2 lb sushi-grade fish (tuna, salmon, or your choice)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, julienned
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs, toasted
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sriracha (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and add the rice and water to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 20 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes. Transfer the rice to a large bowl and stir in the vinegar mixture until well combined.
- Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice on top, leaving a 1-inch border on one side. Add the avocado, cucumber, and crab meat on top of the rice. Sprinkle the homemade toasted panko breadcrumbs over the filling.
- Roll the sushi tightly, using the mat to shape it. Moisten the border of the nori with water and seal the roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces and serve with soy sauce.
Notes
- You can use store-bought toasted panko breadcrumbs, or toast them yourself by spreading the breadcrumbs on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
- Roll the sushi tightly, using the bamboo mat to help maintain the shape. Moisten the exposed nori edge with water to seal the roll.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 4 rolls.
- In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha (if using) to create a spicy mayo sauce.
- Slice each roll into 8 pieces and drizzle with spicy mayo sauce.
- Sprinkle the toasted panko breadcrumbs on top, followed by a garnish of chopped green onions.
- Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
