Preparation Instructions
Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse and cook the sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly and season with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.
Prepare Filling
In a bowl, mix the crab meat, cream cheese, and finely chopped scallions together until well combined.
Assemble the Roll
Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Place a line of the crab mixture and fried shrimp along the center of the rice.
Roll It Up
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.
Slice the Roll
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 8 equal pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.
Top with Eel and Avocado
Slice the avocado thinly and layer it over the top of the sliced roll. Drizzle eel sauce over the top and sprinkle with masago and sesame seeds.
Serve
Serve the Eel Twister Roll with additional eel sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
