Boston Roll – Delicious Sushi Made from Shrimp, Avocado & Cucumber

July 28, 2017 By Victoria

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

If you love the California sushi roll, then you might like this variant, the Boston sushi roll. This Boston roll is similar to its cousin with the only difference is using tempura or poach shrimps instead of imitation crab.

The other accompany vegetables still are cucumber and avocado strips. As a whole, the roll tastes crisp due to the additional coat of masago. Now if you’re kind of fear of this raw creature (roe), don’t be. On a sushi roll with deep-fry shrimp, you won’t hear the overpower fishy smell. In fact, it tastes mildly sweet and adds that punch onto the roll.

Avocado served as a creamy solution for this roll, kinda cheesy, and hearty melt. So pick the one that half-way ripens. Too much then it’ll be squishy and hard to hold shape well when rolled.

Eating boston roll

I tend to just enjoy this Boston sushi roll with tamari soy sauce, a little bit is enough. Since there’s no raw fish, ginger and wasabi might not need at all. For extra grease, dab on a little bit of kewpie mayo. Anyhow, enjoy this roll as a snack or appetizer.
