WHAT IS A NEW YORK ROLL?
Now, unlike aCalifornia rollor aPhiladelphia rollthat have a pretty defined and uniform ingredients list from place to place, the New York roll has many iterations. This is the combination we like best 😋
For these New York sushi rolls (maki) we like to use springy cooked shrimp, crunchy cucumber and creamy avocado as the filling. Then, that trio of humble ingredients is wrapped in a layer of sushi rice and dried seaweed (nori). Some people like the addition of sesame seeds (and you can count us among those who definitely do!).
And while a New York roll is way less of a traditional Japanese preparation than something likekappa maki (cucumber roll)ortekka maki (tuna roll), we’re big believers that: if it tastes good all bets are off regarding authenticity. Make it and devour it as you see fit! There are all types of sushi recipes in the world, and we’re thankful for that.
This yummy roll is full of bright and savory flavors – and it’s one of the easiest to make at home. You see, since you’ll be using cooked shrimp, there’s no need to track down restaurant quality sashimi.
Just make your sushi rice and get to rolling!
HOW TO MAKE SUSHI RICE
Sushi rice isn’t just plain rice. It actually relies on a trinity of simple ingredients to give it a boost of flavor that works so well with the combination of fish, veggies, wasabi and soy sauce.
To make sushi rice at home, just make a batch of short grain Japanese rice in your Tiger rice cooker as you usually would. Then, once it’s cooked, add a bit of rice vinegar, sugar and salt to the rice and mix it in well (check out the recipe tab on this page for exact measurements).
These delicious homemade New York rolls will taste just like they do at your favorite sushi spot!
