Sushi Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved, then gently fold this mixture into the rice. Allow to cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare Fillings

    Slice the cucumber, avocado, wild sockeye salmon, hamachi, and tai into thin strips. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Rainbow Roll

    Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and lay a sheet of nori shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top. Add a line of Dungeness crab, black tiger prawns, albacore tuna, cucumber, and avocado in the center of the rice.

  4. 4

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 8 pieces.

  5. 5

    Add Toppings

    Top the sliced rolls with pieces of wild sockeye salmon, hamachi, tai, and a sprinkle of tobiko. Drizzle with mayonnaise.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the rainbow roll with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
