Sushi Burrito
- PICKLED RED ONIONS
- 1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- UNAGI SAUCE
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1/8 cup sugar
- BURRITOS
- 1/2 cup cooked sushi rice, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon black sesame seeds
- 2 sheets nori (7 1/2 in. by 8 in. each)
- 4 ounces salmon or ahi tuna, cut into 1/2-in. dice
- 1/4 peeled cucumber, cut lengthwise into 1/2-in.-thick spears
- 1/4 avocado, cut into 1/2-in.-thick wedges
- 1/4 cup potato chips
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Furikake* (Japanese sesame and seaweed blend, optional), for sprinkling
- Make onions: Combine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl with 1/2 cup water, then whisk until sugar is dissolved. Add onions and let sit 20 minutes.
- Make sauce: Bring all ingredients to a boil in a small saucepan, then simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened. Let cool.
- Spread cooked rice on a baking sheet, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Arrange a bamboo mat on a work surface with narrow end toward you. Lay one sheet nori, wide end toward you, on a bamboo mat. Moisten the far edge and lay second nori sheet on top of first; press to seal. Using wet hand, spread rice in a thin layer over just the first sheet of nori to cover it completely. Arrange salmon dice in a horizontal row about 1/3 way down first nori sheet and all the way to edges, then layer cucumbers and avocado on top. Drizzle with unagi sauce and sprinkle with potato chips, cilantro, and a sprinkle of furikake.
- Using bamboo mat, roll filled nori into a tight roll about 3 in. thick. Continue rolling onto second nori sheet until burrito is covered with second sheet (this will help seal in moisture).
- Wrap burrito in parchment paper to help hold it together, cut in half, and serve with remaining unagi sauce.
- *Find in the international aisle of well-stocked grocery stores or at Asian markets.
