Description
Create delightful homemade Dragon Rolls filled with fresh shrimp or crab, crispy cucumber, and creamy avocado, all wrapped in seasoned sushi rice.
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
- Rinse sushi rice under cold water until clear.

- Prepare fillings: slice cucumber and avocado into strips and set aside.
- Lay a bamboo mat covered with plastic wrap on your workspace. Place a nori sheet shiny side down.
- Spread about 1 cup of sushi rice over two-thirds of the nori sheet. Wet your hands to avoid sticking.

- Roll tightly using the bamboo mat, applying gentle pressure to form a cylindrical shape.
- Slice into eight pieces with a sharp knife dipped in water.
Notes
Experiment with additional fillings like cream cheese or pickled radish for extra flavor. Use a bowl of water to keep your hands moist while rolling.
