The most common sushi rolls are…..
March 31st, 2011
Two of the most common sushi rolls, and the ones that most people begin with when easing into sushi, are the California and the Spicy Tuna roll. Visit any Japanese restaurant, from an east coast long island sushi place to one smack in the middle of the country and these two rolls will be a staple.
California Rolls consist of cucumber, avocado and crab inside. More often than not, the crab inside is imitation crab and the roll actually contains no fish at all. Rarely crab salad is substituted for crab and overall the rolls are often done “inside-out” and then sprinkled with sesame seeds or tobiko. Spicy tuna rolls are filled with spicy tuna salad and either avocado or cucumber. Spicy tuna is diced pieces of tuna piece, mixed with scallions are added and either chili oil or sriracha sauce. For a creamier texture Japanese mayonnaise is added.
