A Fusion Delight: The Sushi Burrito
Love sushi but want something more filling? The sushi burrito combines the best of sushi with the portability of a wrap. Packed with creamy avocado, fresh shrimp or crab, and crisp vegetables, all wrapped in a seaweed sheet with seasoned sushi rice, this is a fun and flavorful meal that’s perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large seaweed sheet (nori)
  • 1 cup cooked sushi rice (seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt)
  • 1/4 cup sliced avocado
  • 1/4 cup cooked shrimp or crab (or substitute with tofu for a vegetarian option)
  • Cucumber and carrots (thinly sliced for crunch)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Base: Lay the seaweed sheet on a flat surface or bamboo sushi mat. Spread the cooked sushi rice evenly over the sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top for sealing.
  2. Add Fillings: Arrange avocado slices, shrimp or crab, cucumber, and carrots in a horizontal line across the middle of the rice.
  3. Roll It Up: Using the sushi mat or your hands, roll the seaweed tightly into a burrito shape, pressing gently to secure the fillings. Dampen the edge of the seaweed with water to seal.
  4. Serve: Slice the sushi burrito in half diagonally for presentation and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, or spicy mayo on the side.
