Caterpillar Roll (How to Make an Avocado Topping for Sushi)

The caterpillar roll is a sushi roll topped with thinly sliced avocado to resemble a caterpillar's form. Make the caterpillar sushi roll with traditional Sushi Rice, fill it, and press the sliced avocado topping onto it, using a sushi mat. We love sushi rolls with homemade Eel sauce!

15 min2 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 fully made, inside-out sushi rolls
  • 1 ripe avocado (peeled, cored & cut in half lengthwise)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice ((to prevent browning))

Instructions

  1. 1

    Thinly slice an avocado: Thinly slice the avocado vertically (horizontally works too).

  2. 2

    Rub the avocado with lemon juice: Rub it with one teaspoon of lemon juice to prevent it from browning. Place enough slices over a sushi roll, overlapping each other to cover the top. (Half of an avocado should cover one roll.)

  3. 3

    Squeeze avocado into the roll with Saran Wrap: Place a piece of Saran wrap over each sushi roll and squeeze the avocado topping into the roll so that they become one. Don't roll or squeeze too hard.

  4. 4

    Slice the Caterpillar roll: With the Saran wrap still intact, wet the blade of your knife and cut the sushi roll into eight equal pieces, wetting the blade in between each cut. Carefully remove the plastic wrap and place it on a plate. Serve.
