- Mango — Use a ripe mango for a sweet and juicy flavor.
- Spicy mayo — Adjust the amount of spicy mayo according to your desired level of heat.
- Sushi rice — Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch and achieve a fluffy texture.
Tips & Tricks
- To prevent the sushi rice from sticking to your hands, keep a bowl of water nearby and wet your hands before handling the rice.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the roll for clean and neat pieces.
- Experiment with different fillings such as tempura shrimp or crab for added variety.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the salmon with tofu or grilled vegetables.
