The Sushi Wrap is a quick, easy, and portable take on traditional sushi. Packed with seasoned rice, fresh fish or shrimp, crisp vegetables, and creamy avocado wrapped in nori, it delivers all the authentic sushi flavors in a simple handheld form — perfect for lunch, picnics, or a light dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets nori (seaweed)
  • 1 cup cooked sushi rice (seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt)
  • 4 oz fresh fish (salmon or tuna) or cooked shrimp/crab
  • 1/4 cucumber, julienned
  • 1/4 carrot, julienned
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • Soy sauce, for dipping
  • Wasabi and pickled ginger (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare sushi rice according to package directions, then season with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Allow to cool slightly.
  2. Lay a sheet of nori shiny-side down on a clean surface or bamboo mat.
  3. Spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge.
  4. Arrange fish or shrimp, cucumber, carrot, and avocado in the center of the rice.
  5. Fold the bottom of the nori up over the fillings, then fold in the sides and roll tightly into a wrap.
  6. Moisten the top edge with a little water to seal the roll.
  7. Slice in half if desired or enjoy whole as a wrap.
  8. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.

Notes

  • Use slightly damp hands to handle sushi rice and prevent sticking.
  • Assemble wraps just before serving to keep the nori crisp.
  • Can be made vegan using tofu or only vegetables.
  • Best served fresh and should not be reheated.
  • For a fusion twist, use a tortilla instead of nori for a sushi burrito style.
