Umami Mami Roll
Specialty sushi roll - a California roll (imitation crab stick, cucumber, and avocado) topped with umami salmon (or umami tuna) and crispy onions.
Ingredients
- 1 full size sheet of nori cut smaller if desired
- ~¾ cup prepared, seasoned sushi rice
Inside Roll
Outside Roll
- ½ batch umami salmon or sub umami tuna
- 2 tablespoon crispy onions
Instructions
- Cover the sheet of nori in a thin even layer of rice, filling all the way out to the edges. (click for guide)
- Flip the sheet of nori over so the rice is face down on a bamboo rolling mat that is wrapped in plastic. (click for guide)
- Arrange the fillings (imitation crab stick, avocado, and cucumber) in even lines, 1 inch from the edge along the longer side of the nori sheet. 1 + ½ of a crab stick should cover the whole length. Optionally, use your hands to shred the crab stick if desired (some brands shred more easily than others). (click for guide)
- Carefully and tightly roll up the roll. (click for guide)
- Spoon the umami salmon over the top of the roll as evenly as possible. (click for guide)
- Place the plastic-wrapped rolling mat over the top of the roll and press the roll into a consistent shape. Be gentle with this step so you don't squeeze out the umami salmon. (click for guide)
- Place the roll on a cutting board and grab your sharpest knife. Optionally, cover the roll with plastic cling wrap. Run the knife under water for a second, then shake off any excess. Cut the roll into 8 equal pieces using a gentile sawing motion with the knife, running the knife under the tap between every 2-3 cuts to prevent sticking. (click for guide)
- Plate the roll on your serving dish and top with crispy onions. (click for guide)
