Philly Roll Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the sushi rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, transfer rice to a bowl and let it cool slightly.

2. 2

   Season the rice

   In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the warm sushi rice and gently fold it in using a spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Prepare the fillings

   Slice the avocado into thin strips. If using long kani, shred or cut it into strips for easy rolling.

4. 4

   Assemble the roll

   Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and grab a handful of sushi rice. Spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge. Place a line of cream cheese, long kani, and avocado in the center of the rice.

5. 5

   Roll the sushi

   Using the bamboo mat, carefully lift the edge of the mat closest to you and start rolling away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Roll until you reach the bare edge of the nori. Wet the edge with a bit of water to seal the roll.

6. 6

   Slice and serve

   Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the rolls before serving. Enjoy your Philly Roll!
