How to Make an Orange Dragon Roll | Sushi With Me

Context: My bro made these American sushi rolls while in a rush for a party, so nothing about this vid is going to be authentic or Michelin ⭐ quality. They still taste amazing though! Also, sorry for no subtitles or a voice-over. Have to focus on school right now but I didn't want to fall off the weekly uploads. In fact, I'll be uploading 2 sushi vids a week on Thurs and Sun until the end of July! You'll find a detailed list of ingredients and steps below ⬇⬇⬇!
🍤 INGREDIENTS:
- Sushi Rice: short grain rice, sushi rice vinegar (Marukan is a good brand)
- Spicy Tuna: salmon grade tune (ground), sriracha, sesame oil, Japanese 7 spice (Shichimi Togarashi), black and white sesame seeds
Filling: spicy tuna, cucumber
Topping: sushi grade salmon, avocado
🍣 STEPS:
1) Thoroughly clean your sushi rice. Rinse and strain your rice until the rinse water is clear.
2) Cook your sushi rice according to your brand's instructions.
3) Once cooked, transfer your rice to a large container.
4) While the rice is still hot, add sushi rice vinegar. Cut the rice to disperse the vinegar and spread the rice evenly across the container surface. Don't smash or flatten the rice as it'll make the rice clumpy and prevent even cooling. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
* How much sushi rice vinegar do I add? Add enough so that the rice is slightly wet. 4 cups uncooked rice to 1 cup rice vinegar is a good ratio to start with. As the rice cools, it'll soak up the liquid and retain the flavor. Once cool, it should be sticky but not wet.
5) Dry your ground sushi grade tuna with a paper towel. If you can't find pre-ground tuna, you can buy a block of tuna and cut/grind it as an alternative.
6) Add sriracha, sesame oil, Japanese 7 spice (Shichimi Togarashi), and black & white sesame seeds to the tuna and mix. Taste and adjust the amounts accordingly.
7) Cut off the ends of and halve your cucumbers. Peel them. Julienne them. Be careful!
8) Skin your salmon. At one end, cut at a 45 degree angle to make a small "handle" to grip. Turn your knife towards the bulk of the fish and make a few cuts until the knife is at the skin. Cut keeping the knife along the skin until all the meat is released.
9) Half you salmon fillet and clean it up (remove silver skin and brown spots).
10) Cut you salmon into 2"x1" pieces.
11) To make the sushi! Wet your hands. Make a ball of rice and place it in the center of a half sheet of nori. Start with less rice as you can always add more.
12) Spread the rice evenly across the nori surface. It should be a thin layer of rice. Leave one edge of the nori free of rice so the roll doesn't get overstuffed. It really makes a difference when rolling.
13) Flip the nori. Add a thin line of spicy tuna in the center. Add cucumber.
14) Roll! Tighten the roll with a bamboo sushi rolling mat.
15) Layer the salmon and avocado slices on top.
