Cucumber Avocado Roll
Cucumber avocado roll combines a crisp line with a soft one. The cucumber’s wet seed core is removed, and the avocado is firm-ripe rather than collapsing into paste.
Open recipe
Mango Avocado Roll
Mango avocado roll is a modern fruit-and-vegetable variation, with sweetness balanced by seasoned rice and nori. The mango should be ripe but firm enough for a clean strip. Very soft fruit leaks juice into the center.

Marinated shiitake nigiri uses a cooked mushroom cap whose savory seasoning has been absorbed and drained. The cap should bend over the rice without releasing syrup.
Open recipe
