Dragon Roll Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Sushi Rice

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions, and let it cool. Once cooled, mix in a little rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to taste.

2

Prepare the Fillings

Julienne the cucumber and slice the avocado. Grill the eel until heated through and crispy on the outside.

3

Assemble the Roll

Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Layer the grilled eel, cucumber, and tempura shrimp on the rice.

4

Roll it Up

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly to ensure it stays together. Seal the edge with a little water.

5

Slice and Garnish

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Arrange on a plate and top with avocado slices. Drizzle with eel sauce and spicy mayonnaise, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.

6

Serve

Serve with wasabi and pickled ginger on the side.
