How to Make Philly Roll Sushi
- Place one sheet (8.25 x 7.75 inches) of sushi nori seaweed on a bamboo rolling mat, shiny side down.
- Lightly spread 1 cup of prepared sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1.5-inch strip of nori bare at the top edge closest to you.
- Arrange your toppings lengthwise in the center of the rice. (See ingredient list for suggested amounts)
- Using the bamboo mat, lift the bottom edge of the nori over the filling, tucking the rice tightly around the ingredients.
- Continue rolling tightly, using the mat to apply even pressure as you roll the sushi towards the top edge.
- Moisten the bare nori strip with a little water to seal the roll.
- Gently tighten the roll by pressing firmly along its length.
- Repeat steps 1-7 to make a second roll.
- Using a sharp, wet knife, cut each roll into eight equal pieces.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
