Ingredients
- Nori sheets (seaweed)
- Sushi rice (cooked and seasoned)
- Fresh fish (like tuna or salmon, or go veggie with tofu)
- Vegetables (think cucumber, avocado, and carrots)
- Pickled ginger
- Soy sauce
- Sriracha mayo (for a spicy kick)
- Sesame seeds (for that extra touch)
- Optional extras: Creamy avocado, crunchy tempura bits, or spicy kimchi
Instructions
- Prepare Your Rice: Cook up your sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once it’s done, season it with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let it cool down to room temperature so it’s ready to roll.
- Lay Out the Nori: Grab a nori sheet and place it on a clean surface or bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch of space at the top to seal the roll.
- Add Your Fillings: Now for the fun part—layer your favorite fillings on top of the rice. You can go classic with fresh fish, veggies, and pickled ginger, or get creative with some extra sauces and spices. Drizzle on some soy sauce and sriracha mayo if you’re feeling adventurous.
- Roll It Up: Carefully roll the nori into a tight cylinder using the bamboo mat or your hands. Seal the edge with a little water to keep everything nice and secure.
- Slice and Serve: Cut your sushi burrito in half with a sharp knife. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with extra soy sauce and pickled ginger on the side.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best taste, choose high-quality, fresh fish and veggies.
- Don’t Overstuff: Less is more. Overstuffing can make rolling tricky and cause fillings to spill out.
- Get Creative: Mix and match ingredients to make your sushi burrito uniquely yours. From spicy tuna to creamy avocado, the options are endless!
- Fun Variations to Try
- Spicy Tuna Sushi Burrito: Add spicy mayo and jalapeños for an extra kick.
- Vegetarian Delight: Go with marinated tofu, your favorite veggies, and a splash of soy sauce.
- Crunchy Tempura Roll: Throw in some tempura shrimp or veggies for a crunchy surprise.
