WHAT IS EEL AVOCADO ROLL?

Inside-out sushi rolls with avocado, cooked eels, and cooked sushi rice are known as eel avocado rolls. Brown ‘eel sauce’ prepared from eel, sake, sugar, and soy sauce is frequently served with or without eel avocado sushi rolls.

In Japan, eel avocado rolls are so popular that there is even a day dedicated to them. In the United States and Canada, however, many sushi restaurants now serve eel avocado rolls.

IS EEL AVOCADO ROLL COOKED?

Cooked eel in avocado rolls is frequently served with a sweet and savory eel sauce. You should never eat eels uncooked since the blood of eels can be poisonous and harmful to your health if swallowed fresh. Before using eel in any meal, make sure it’s grilled and steamed first.

IS IT SAFE TO EAT EEL AVOCADO ROLL WHILE PREGNANT?

When you’re pregnant, you can eat sushi made with eel and avocado. Sushi that uses cooked fish and shellfish, such as crab and cooked prawns, is completely safe to eat, according to babycentre.co.uk. as well as for sushi rolls with additions like scrambled eggs and avocado.

WHAT IS EEL AVOCADO SUSHI ROLL SUSHI MADE OF?

Cooked eel (grilled or steamed), avocado, rolled-in nori, and cooked sushi rice make up the traditional Eel Avocado Sushi Rolls. You can top it with tobiko, masago, or sesame seeds, or you can serve it with eel sauce. So let’s take a closer look at the ingredients for the Eel Avocado Rolls.

• The first important ingredient in this sushi roll recipe is fried eel. You must first cook the eel, either grilled or steamed, and then combine it with the avocado and the rest of the ingredients, as I previously stated.
• Avocado: Because avocado is the second primary component in this sushi roll recipe, you’ll need to pick the right avocado for the job if you want to make great and fresh avocado sushi. Simply place the avocado in the palm of your hand and gently squeeze it to remove the seeds. Avocados that are ripe should have a firm, dark-colored skin that is somewhat mushy. Your avocado is not ripe if it is too firm. It’s overripe, on the other hand, if it has too much give.
• Sushi Rice: Use high-quality short-grain rice that has been seasoned with sushi vinegar and cooked in the traditional Japanese style, which includes steaming it.
• Nori Seaweed Paper: Nori sheets can be found in the Asian food area of practically every supermarket in the United States or Canada.
• Sesame seeds: Sesame seeds, whether black or white, offer a nice texture to the sushi roll and make a terrific garnish.
• Adding eel sauce to this sushi roll recipe is a possibility. With eel, sake, sugar, and soy sauce, you can make eel sauce.
• Masago / Tobiko: To serve the eel rolls, many people use masago and tobiko as a topping.

INGREDIENTS YOU’L NEED:

Sushi Rice

• 2 cups white short-grain rice
• 3 cups water
• 1/3 cup rice vinegar
• 1/8 cup cane sugar
• 1 tbsp avocado oil
• pinch of salt

Eel Avocado Sushi Rolls

• 3-4 nori sheets
• 2 large avocados, peeled, pitted, and sliced
• Cooked (grilled/steamed) eel slices

HOW TO MAKE EEL AVOCADO ROLL?

Make Sushi Rice

1. Heat the water in a pot to a boil, then add the rice, lower to a low heat, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed by the rice. My choice is to cook rice in an Instant Pot or a rice cooker.
2. Combine the rice vinegar, avocado oil, cane sugar, and salt in a small saucepan.
3. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on medium-low heat, or until the sugar melts.
4. Pour the mixture over the rice and stir until it is completely absorbed.
5. Set aside to cool.

Make The Eel Avocado Roll

1. Cleaning the bamboo mat will be easier if you place a piece of plastic wrap on top of it to keep the rice from clinging to it.
2. Place one half of the nori sheets on top of the bamboo with the shining side facing down after folding and splitting them in half.
3. Toss the sesame seeds on top of the nori and put 3/4 cup of sushi rice equally over it.
4. Flip the nori sheet carefully so that the rice is facing down and the nori is facing up.
5. In the middle of the norie, place the avocado slices and the fried eel.
6. Place your thumbs underneath the bamboo mat to raise the edge up and over the edge of the roll to close it.
7. Continue to roll until the two ends touch.
8. Place your eel roll on a cutting board and cut it into about 8 pieces with a sharp knife.
9. For an added kick of flavor, sprinkle some masago or tobiko and drizzle the eel sauce on top of the rolls.
10. Serve and have fun!
