Dragon Roll is a popular sushi roll featuring a combination of fresh seafood and creamy avocado. It gets its name from the dragon-like appearance created by the sliced avocado and shrimp on top of the roll. This recipe provides a step-by-step guide to making this delicious and visually appealing sushi roll at home.
Ingredients: 1 cup sushi rice. Nori sheets. Soy sauce. Wasabi. 1 avocado, sliced. 1 cucumber, julienned. 4 ounces cooked shrimp, sliced. 4 ounces cooked crabmeat. 1 tablespoon mayonnaise. Sesame seeds.
Instructions: Cook sushi rice according to package instructions and let it cool. Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of rice on the nori, leaving a small border around the edges. Place avocado slices, cucumber, shrimp, and crabmeat in a line along the center of the rice. Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, sealing the edge with water. Mix mayonnaise with a little bit of wasabi to taste, then drizzle it over the roll. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the roll for garnish. Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Serve with soy sauce and extra wasabi on the side.
