Sushi sandwiches, also known as “Onigirazu,” are a fun twist on traditional sushi rolls and sandwiches. Combining the best of both worlds, these sandwiches have all your favorite sushi flavors but are easier to make than a traditional handroll. Let’s jump in.
Ingredients
- Sushi rice (cooked and seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt)
- Nori sheets (dried seaweed)
- Fillings of your choice (examples: cooked salmon, tuna, crab meat, avocado, cucumber, carrot)
- Soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger for serving
Instructions
- Cooking the sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, season it with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.
- Place a nori sheet on a clean, dry surface.
- Wet your hands and take a handful of sushi rice. Place it in the center of the nori sheet and gently spread it out.
- Place your filling in the center of the rice.
- Start by folding the two opposite corners of the nori towards the center, ensuring they overlap slightly. Then, fold the remaining two corners towards the center to form a square or rectangular package.
- Once your sushi sandwich is neatly wrapped, use a sharp, wet knife to cut it in half.
- Serve your sushi sandwich with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
