Rice Paper Sushi Wraps
Pan-seared, crispy, sesame-crusted wraps packed with fresh sashimi, avocado, and seasoned rice.
A game-changing fusion twist on classic sushi! These handheld rice paper wraps feature tender seasoned sushi rice, crisp cucumber, creamy avocado, and fresh tuna and salmon sashimi tucked inside a sheet of nori. Wrapped in delicate rice paper and crusted with toasted sesame seeds, each wrap is pan-seared until crackling and golden on the outside while keeping the fresh sashimi soft and cool on the inside.

Ivana’s note
Don't soak the rice paper for too long in water—a quick 5-second dip is enough as it will continue to soften as you assemble. Pan-toasting in sesame oil gives a fantastic nutty aroma while turning the delicate rice paper shell ultra-crispy.
