Step-by-Step Guide to Make Volcano Roll Sushi
1. Preparing the Sushi Rice
To achieve the perfect sushi rice consistency, rinse the rice thoroughly using a Strainer. Then, cook the rice in a Rice Cooker by following the instructions provided. While the rice is cooking, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves entirely. Let the mixture cool. Once the sushi rice is ready, transfer it to a large, flat surface, adding the vinegar mixture while gently folding it in to achieve a sticky consistency.
2. Creating the Spicy Crab Mix
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the imitation crab meat, mayonnaise, and sriracha sauce. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less sriracha, depending on your preference.
3. Assembling Your Volcano Roll
Place a sheet of nori (seaweed) on a Sushi Making Kit bamboo mat covered in plastic wrap. With wet hands, spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice, then carefully flip the nori with rice over so that the nori is facing up. Place thin strips of cucumber and avocado along the center of the nori, and add a generous amount of the spicy crab mix.
4. Rolling the Sushi
Using your bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi tightly into a cylinder shape. Apply gentle pressure to ensure that the roll is firm and compact. Use a sharp Sushi Knife to cut the roll into 8 equal pieces.
5. Adding the Volcano Toppings
Top each piece of sushi with a spoonful of spicy tuna or spicy scallop mix. Drizzle spicy mayo and sriracha sauce over the top, and sprinkle with tempura flakes and green onions for an added crunch and flavorful punch.
