Sushi Poppers Recipes

SUSHI POPPERS

Steps:

• In a large shallow dish, spread rice and sprinkle with seasoned rice vinegar and sesame seeds.
• Using a wooden spoon, toss gently to combine, (DO NOT STIR or rice will clump).
• Keep rice covered with a damp cloth if not using immediately.
• Using wet fingers, place a rounded teaspoonful of rice in the palm of your hand and roll into a ball.
• Make an indentation in the center with your finger.
• Place your choice of desired filling in the indentation.
• In small bowls, make up a combination of fillings that you enjoy.
• Dip fingers into water and pack rice firmly around filling to make a small ball.
• Repeat with remaining rice and your choice of filling.
• Sprinkle each popper with toasted sesame seeds and a dot of wasabi paste and place on a platter.
• Cover with plastic wrap and keep at room temperature until ready to serve.

SUSHI BURRITOS

Steps:

• Place sushi rice in a medium bowl. Combine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir until sugar and salt have dissolved, about 1 minute. Pour vinegar mixture over sushi rice and mix to combine. Set aside.
• Place each nori sheet onto a piece of parchment paper on a clean work surface. Top each sheet with 1 cup sushi rice, pressing to create an even layer, leaving 1 inch exposed at the bottom of the sheet and 1/2 inch exposed on the sides and top. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise lengthwise down the middle of the rice. Top each with 1/4 cup avocado slices, 1/4 cup cucumber, 2 tablespoons carrot, 1 tablespoon radish, 1/2 ounce smoked salmon slices, and 1/2 ounce cream cheese. Make sure all ingredients run down the length of the mayonnaise in the center of each burrito.
• Wet fingers with a little bit of water and spread on the bottom of each nori sheet. Using parchment paper, tightly roll the bottom of each nori sheet up over salmon, cream cheese, and vegetables, and continue rolling until completely sealed. Use parchment paper to press and ensure roll is tight. Discard parchment paper and slice sushi burritos in half on a diagonal. Serve immediately.
