Sushi burrito

Every Japanese restaurant strives to surprise both with the taste of the rolls and their presentation. This is how the sushi burrito, or sushiritto, appeared. It is a mixture of Japanese rolls and the popular Mexican fast food burrito. For their production, nori sheets and boiled rice, which are usual for sushi, are used, and not the traditional tortilla.

We will be happy to share with you all the secrets of making sushi burritos, and you will definitely prepare a perfect dish! Let’s quickly start preparing these unusual sushi.

The steps for making burrito rolls

The sushiritto recipe is not very complicated, so if you follow all our tips, a new tasty dish will appear on your table very soon. We need to go through a few simple steps:

1. On the rough side of a whole sheet of nori, spread the boiled seasoned rice in a dense, even layer over the entire surface, leaving the upper edge of the sheet without rice for 1.5 cm.
2. Spread cream cheese, sliced cucumber and salmon, as well as a lettuce leaf and caviar on top of the rice in the center from edge to edge.
3. Roll the roll into a roll, wetting the upper edge of the nori sheet with water, which was left without rice. We will give it a round shape with the help of a bamboo mat.
4. For unusual rolls, a non-standard serving is required, so we will cut the roll into two parts at an angle of 45 degrees without rice – so it will resemble a burrito more, besides, the filling will be better visible.
5. Transfer to a beautiful plate and serve with soy sauce and wasabi or hot sauce.
