Alaska Roll Sushi Recipe: Easy Step-by-Step Instructions

When you have “Alaska” included in the name of a sushi roll, you most likely expect some good crab or salmon. Luckily, this roll has both! While the salmon draped over the top of the roll is its defining ingredient, many versions (including my own) also use crab in the roll so you get the best of both worlds.

Since you can make this roll a cooked roll by using smoked salmon (my preference), it’s a delicious roll for those who may be hesitant to eat raw fish.

Ebi Sushi: What it is and How to Make it

Ebi, the Japanese word for shrimp, is a common ingredient in sushi bars and Japanese restaurants alike.

Beginner sushi cooks will also appreciate how straight forward ebi sushi is to make yet it still gives you the fresh taste you expect from sushi.
