Ingredients
- 2 C. Warm Cooked Sushi Rice
- 2 tsp. Rice Vinegar
- 1/2 tsp. Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 tsp. Kosher Salt
- 2 (6-ounce) Cans Boneless, Skinless Alaska salmon, liquid drained
- 1/4 C. Kewpie Mayo (or regular mayo)
- 5 tsp. Sriracha
- 1/2 tsp. Honey
- 2 Scallions, diced
- Black Pepper, freshly ground
- 2 Large Eggs
- 6 to 8 Sheets Good-Quality Nori
- 1 Large Avocado, sliced
- 1/2 Large Red Bell Pepper, thinly sliced into 2- to 3-inch strips
- 1/2 Cucumber, thinly sliced into 2- to 3-inch strips
- Red Pickled Ginger, for filling
- Tobiko, for filling
- Sesame Seeds (black, white, or a combination), for filling
- Soy Sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Season the rice. In a large bowl, mix the warm rice with vinegar, sugar, and salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Cover and set aside.
- Season the Alaska salmon. In a medium bowl, break up the Alaska salmon using a fork. Add the mayo, sriracha, honey, scallions, and a few cranks of freshly ground black pepper and mix to combine. Cover the bowl and set aside.
- Make the egg strips. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl with a fork and season with salt and pepper. Grease a large nonstick pan with oil over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs to coat the bottom of the pan in a thin layer, and cook until the edges are set. Gently flip the eggs using a large spatula and cook until the other side is set.
- Transfer the fried egg round to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, cut the egg in thirds crosswise. Stack the pieces and thinly slice lengthwise into strips.
- Prepare nori. Stack the nori sheets a few at a time and cut in half lengthwise, then cut crosswise to make 4 smaller rectangles. Repeat until you’ve cut all nori sheets. This should produce 24 to 32 pieces.
- When ready to serve, arrange the fried egg strips, sliced vegetables, and other fillings of your choice (the options above are only suggestions; feel free to mix and match according to your preferences) on a large plate, along with the nori, rice, and seasoned Alaska salmon. Allow guests to make their own hand rolls by spreading a thin layer of rice on a piece of nori, topping it with their fillings of choice, and dipping it in a bit of soy sauce to enjoy.
Start with a can of Alaska Salmon and add in bold flavors. Create your own hand-rolls in your own kitchen.
