Boston Roll Ingredients

Method

Boston Roll Preparation

  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, mix with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Allow to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    Slice the cucumber into thin strips. In a bowl, combine the cooked shrimp and mayonnaise, mixing well.

  3. 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 about an inch at the top. Place a line of the shrimp and mayo mixture and cucumber strips in the center of the rice.

  4. 4

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

  5. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Sprinkle sesame seeds on the roll. With a sharp knife, slice the roll into pieces and serve with soy sauce or additional mayonnaise if desired.
