New York Sushi Roll in Basket Weaved Cucumber Wrapper

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

New York sushi roll is one of the many popular American sushi rolls that served widely in the States. With this roll, the most standout point is to use thin cucumber strips to replace traditional nori wrappers.

New York Sushi Roll

Most New York sushi rolls don’t include sushi rice due to the moisture in cucumber which prevents the rice from being adhered to it. This recipe, however, inspires and adapt from this roll, while also adding a little sushi rice in for the starch craving eater and balance well with all the fish used.

I used 3 types of common sushi grade fish in the States: salmon, red tuna, and hamachi. But you can replace them with any types of fishes you want or just use one of them for a more concentrating taste.

The cucumber wrapper, even though still being delicate, is easier to wrap after basket-weaving into a rectangular wrapper. I just happen to like this style more than the traditional spiral thin slice all around, cause this made it more like a roll & wrap compare to filling.

For the kids, I would add some Kewpie mayo since they like theirs more cheesy. I like mine more oriented with some dabs of wasabi on the fish sticks while hubby like his spicy with Sriracha. See the pattern here, just add any sauce you want since not only they add to the taste but also help to bind the ingredients a bit better. Customized and change them to your liking.
