Ingredients for Spicy Scallop Roll

Method

Directions to make Spicy Scallop Roll

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer it to a bowl and mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let it cool to room temperature.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Scallops

    In a pan over medium heat, sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Make Spicy Mayo

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce to create a spicy mayo.

  4. 4

    Prepare Vegetables

    Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips. Chop the green onions.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Rolls

    On a bamboo sushi mat, lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Add a layer of sliced scallops, avocado, cucumber, and a drizzle of spicy mayo. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.

  6. 6

    Roll and Slice

    Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the spicy scallop rolls with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
