Scrambled eggs and avocado wrapped in seaweed and rice.
Breakfast Sushi Rolls:
If you love sushi and want a creative way to enjoy breakfast, Breakfast Sushi Rolls are the perfect fusion meal! This Japanese-inspired dish swaps traditional raw fish for fluffy scrambled eggs and creamy avocado, all wrapped in seasoned rice and seaweed. It’s a light, yet satisfying breakfast that’s packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cooked sushi rice (seasoned with rice vinegar)
- 2 eggs, scrambled
- ½ avocado, sliced
- 1 sheet nori (seaweed)
- ½ tsp sesame seeds (optional)
- Soy sauce, for dipping
Instructions:
- Prepare the rice – Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions and season with a little rice vinegar. Let it cool slightly.
- Scramble the eggs – In a pan, cook the eggs until soft and fluffy. Set aside.
- Assemble the roll – Place the nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat (or a clean surface). Spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch gap at the top.
- Add fillings – Arrange scrambled eggs and avocado slices in a line near the bottom edge of the rice.
- Roll it up – Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly from the bottom up, pressing gently as you go. Seal the edge with a little water.
- Slice and serve – Cut the roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce.
Tips for Perfect Breakfast Sushi Rolls:
- Use sticky sushi rice – Properly cooked sushi rice holds everything together. Season it lightly with rice vinegar for authentic flavor.
- Keep the rice cool – Hot rice can make the nori soggy. Let it cool slightly before spreading it on the seaweed.
- Wet your hands – Sushi rice is sticky! Lightly dampen your hands with water to make handling easier.
- Use a sharp knife – To get clean slices, use a sharp, slightly wet knife and wipe it between cuts.
- Experiment with fillings – Try smoked salmon, cream cheese, spinach, or even sautéed mushrooms for more variety!
Enjoy your meal!
