Roll Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 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, then let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mix with Midori

    Once the rice is cooled, gently fold in the Midori melon liqueur to infuse the rice with the sweet flavor.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Roll

    Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of the Midori-infused sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge. Place shrimp, cream cheese, cucumber, and avocado in the center of the rice.

  4. 4

    Roll It Up

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, tucking in the filling tightly as you go. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

  5. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
