1

Cook the rice

Start by rinsing 2 cups of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Then, cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool to room temperature.

2

Prepare the fillings

While the rice cools, prepare your fillings. Slice half an avocado into thin strips and cut 8 cooked shrimp in half lengthwise. You can also thinly slice some cucumber and julienne a carrot for added crunch. Get creative with your fillings, the dragon's taste buds will thank you!

3

Roll it up

Place a sheet of seaweed on a bamboo sushi rolling mat and spread a thin layer of rice over it, leaving a small border at the top. Arrange your fillings in a line across the middle of the rice. Now comes the fun part. Roll the mat tightly, using gentle pressure to shape the dragon roll.

The dragon's makeover

Once your roll is complete, it's time to give it that mythical dragon look. Cut the roll into bite-sized pieces, about an inch thick. Carefully arrange the pieces on a plate so that they resemble the body of a dragon. Use thin slices of avocado to create the dragon's scales, and make eyes using a dot of sriracha sauce or black sesame seeds.

Your dragon roll creation is now complete! Serve it up with some soy sauce and wasabi for dipping, and watch as your taste buds take flight. Enjoy every flavorful bite as you become the master of your own sushi kingdom!
