Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (400 g) black sushi rice
  • 2 ½ cups (600 ml) water
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) rice vinegar
  • Nori sheets
  • Fresh salmon or tuna, sliced into thin strips
  • Avocado, cut into matchstick-sized pieces
  • Cucumber, cut into matchstick-sized pieces
  • Cream cheese, softened
  • Sriracha
  • Sesame seeds (black and white)
  • Optional spooky decorations: edible eyes, squid ink, thinly sliced carrots

Instructions

  1. Rinse 2 cups (400 g) of black sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice in a rice cooker with 2 ½ cups (600 ml) of water. Once cooked, let it cool slightly and mix in 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of rice vinegar.
  2. Slice the salmon or tuna into thin strips. Cut avocado and cucumber into matchstick-sized pieces. Keep the cream cheese soft and ready for spreading.
  3. Use cookie cutters to slice carrots into jack-o’-lantern or bat shapes. If using edible eyes, have them ready to garnish your rolls.
  4. Place a nori sheet shiny side down on your bamboo mat. Spread a thin layer of black sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border at the top.
  5. Arrange the salmon or tuna, avocado, cucumber, and cream cheese in a horizontal line across the center of the rice.
  6. Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly, applying gentle pressure to seal the edges. Use a bit of water on the exposed nori edge to ensure it sticks.
  7. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 8 pieces. Garnish with spooky decorations like edible eyes, sriracha “blood,” or sesame seeds.
  8. Continue making rolls until all ingredients are used. Experiment with different spooky designs for variety!

Notes

Wet your hands and tools with water to prevent rice from sticking. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and quality. Experiment with spooky designs like spider webs or ghost shapes.
