How to Make Boston Roll Sushi

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Slice 1 ripe avocado into 12 long, thin strips. Thinly slice 1/2 a cucumber into 12 long, thin strips. Cook and peel 10-12 large shrimp.
  2. Lay out a sheet of nori seaweed, shiny side down, on a sushi rolling mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge.
  3. Arrange 3-4 avocado strips, 3-4 cucumber strips, and 3-4 cooked shrimp lengthwise across the center of the rice.
  4. Using the bamboo mat, carefully lift the bottom edge of the nori over the filling, tucking the filling in tightly as you roll.
  5. Continue rolling tightly, using the mat to keep the roll compact. Moisten the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal.
  6. Gently place the completed roll seam-side down on a plate.
  7. Spoon 2 tablespoons of masago evenly over the top of the sushi roll, gently pressing to adhere.
  8. Using a sharp, wet knife, cut the roll into 6-8 equal pieces.
  9. Serve immediately with soy sauce (shoyu), wasabi, and pickled ginger (gari) for dipping. Enjoy!
