22 Best Cooked Sushi Rolls

Many sushi places serve the famed volcano roll, but this homemade version is just as good. Your passion for sushi will grow as a result! My faves among the Japanese seafood sushi rolls are the spicy salmon roll, the caterpillar roll, and this mouthwatering volcano roll.

WHAT IS A VOLCANO ROLL?

The volcano roll, an inside-out maki roll with nori seaweed wrapping the seafood and vegetable ingredients inside and sushi rice on the outside, is recognized for its distinctive appearance, like a volcanic explosion. Then, a baked spicy and creamy “lava”-like crab salad is placed on top to give it the appearance of a volcano or lava.

A highly spicy tuna roll, a cucumber in the middle, and a rock shrimp on top make up the volcano roll, a style of Japanese sushi that is finished off with a bit of basil oil.

Although it is a broad description, the actual ingredients in this hot sushi roll differ. The visual presentation of all volcano rolls is designed to imitate a volcanic eruption, hence the name “volcano roll,” which is a feature that all of them share. However, the only explosion there is a taste explosion.

WHAT SUSHI INGREDIENTS ARE USED IN VOLCANO ROLLS?

A volcano roll typically has seafood (or fake crab), avocado, and cucumber as its fillings. The toppings are created with spicy mayo and shellfish. You can change the fillings and spice level to suit your preferences.

• Seafood: Crab meat and other seafood are used in the traditional volcano recipe. You can utilize fake seafood like shrimp and scallops and fish like yellow tail, salmon, and crab sticks (kanikama).
• You can use cucumbers or avocados as vegetables. Make sure to remove the seeds from an American cucumber because they are very watery.
• Nori (Seaweed Sheets)
• I advise using Japanese short-grain rice for the most fluffy sushi rice. You can season your rice with a small quantity of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to give it some taste.
• Sriracha sauce and mayo can be used to create your spicy mayo.
• Tobiko or masago (optional)

HOW TO CREATE A ROLLING VOLCANO

The volcano roll has a jaw-droppingly stunning appearance, but with a few straightforward suggestions, it’s simpler than you might think:

PREPARE SUSHI RICE

High-quality short-grain sushi rice works best for making sushi rolls. Compared to standard steamed rice, it consumes less water. In addition, making sushi rolls with a 1:1 ratio ensures that the rice will remain fluffy even after being forcefully compressed.

HOW TO MAKE THE CRAB SALAD TOPPING

The secret to this recipe’s crab salad is the creamy, spicy topping:

• Cut the shrimp and imitation crab (Kanika) first into small pieces.
• They should be combined with some spicy mayo, salt, and pepper.
• Place the mixture on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 400 degrees.

MAKING THE VOLCANO ROLL

• The nori seaweed sheet is first covered with a thin coating of cooked rice. Add optional sesame seeds as a garnish. Then turn the nori sheet with rice on it so that the rice is on the bottom.
• Roll the nori using a bamboo mat after placing the fillings on top. While rolling, use some pressure to tighten it up. When the roll is finished, transfer it to a cutting board and chop it into pieces.
• Place around eight pieces of sushi on a dish, then add the newly baked crab salad topping on top of it. You can top the dish with tobiko or masago and a drizzle of hot mayo.

WHAT COMPOSES A VOLCANO ROLL?

Volcano rolls typically have two fillings: one for the inside that is made up of seafood or vegetables like cucumber, avocado, or yamagobo, and one for the outer that is made up of sesame seeds or bread crumbs.

IS VOLCANO ROLL SUSHI HEALTHY?

In addition to being a healthy source of protein and Omega 3 fatty acids from the seafood you will be using, this volcano roll has few calories and no added fats.

However, you should be aware that sushi may not be the most sumptuous dinner for those with weakened immune systems because the bacteria in the used raw meat could harm them.

WHAT DO CRUNCHES LOOK LIKE ON SUSHI?

Suppose you’re eating a volcano roll you haven’t made, whether, from a restaurant or a friend. You’ll notice that the outside of the sushi is incredibly crunchy and crispy. This is because the volcano roll’s fine bread crumbs, more prominent than usual, were added to give it a unique texture.

STORAGE METHODS FOR VOLCANO ROLL

I should caution you that if you keep your volcano roll in the fridge for more than three hours, the raw meat may start to grow more bacteria that could be harmful.

Here’s how to preserve your volcano roll in the refrigerator, though:

• Making sure to ring out any extra water from your sushi volcano roll is the first thing you should do.
• Next, carefully cover the sushi roll or roll pieces with plastic wrap.
• It would help if you sealed the plastic wrap to keep air from getting to your sushi. Please put it in the refrigerator. To be safe, you should consume the sushi roll within three hours.

In general, sushi rolls containing raw fish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; after that time, eating the sushi is risky. Contrarily, sushi rolls containing cooked fish or vegetables can remain fresh for 3-5 days in the refrigerator.

NOTES & TIPS FOR RECIPE

1. Your Volcano sushi roll needs a rolling sushi mat, which you can purchase online or at Asian stores at a reasonable price.
2. Tezu, mixed with 1/4 cup water and two tablespoons of rice vinegar, can dip your hands in to stop your rice from sticking to them.
3. If you prefer a less spicy version of the Volcano sushi roll, alter the amount of Sriracha sauce or Sriracha mayo, or use plain mayo in its place.

KAPPA MAKI (CUCUMBER ROLL)

A straightforward sushi roll (maki) called kappa maki is constructed of cucumber wrapped in sushi rice and dried seaweed. It is one of the few vegetarian sushi recipes available. A kappa roll offers the ideal harmony of flavors and textures despite having a very minimal list of ingredients and being easy to prepare.

When creating kappa maki, we prefer to use either small Japanese cucumbers or English cucumbers. Both varieties of cucumber have very few (if any) seeds and thin skin, which is the ideal light crispness.
