Description

Delicious Volcano Sushi Rolls topped with shrimp and crab mixture, perfect for sushi lovers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 nori sheets
  • 1 cucumber, julienned
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 8 imitation crab sticks
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup lump crab meat
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 12 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Optional garnish: sliced green onions, sesame seeds, extra drizzle of spicy mayo

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice with water according to package instructions.
  2. While the rice is still warm, gently fold in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.
  3. In a bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crab meat, mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir until creamy and well blended.
  4. Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top edge.
  5. Flip the sheet so the rice faces down. Layer cucumber, avocado slices, and imitation crab across the center. Carefully roll it tightly using the mat, applying gentle pressure.
  6. Slice the roll into even pieces using a sharp knife dipped in water.
  7. Arrange the sliced rolls on a baking sheet. Spoon the seafood mixture generously on top of each piece.
  8. Place under a broiler for 3–5 minutes, just until the topping is bubbly and lightly golden. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Adjust sriracha to your preferred spice level.
  • Keep a close eye on the rolls while broiling to avoid burning.
