If you combine Mexican burritos and Japanese sushi, you get the latest food trend that has reached us from overseas: susharitos! Here you can find out what is behind the food trend and how you can imitate it at home.
No sushi, no burrito—susharito!
They taste light and fresh like sushi and are easy to eat like burritos: susharitos! The delicious burrito-sushi hybrids have their origin in San Francisco. The delicious sushi wraps have been there since 2010. After the sushi burgers, they are finally conquering Germany’s street food markets and restaurants.
Nori sheets are filled with rice and fresh ingredients. There are no limits to creativity here: fish, meat, tofu, fresh vegetables, herbs, or salad – everything can be rolled into the susharito.
That’s how healthy susharitos are
Sushiritos prove that fast food can be healthy too! The delicious sushi wraps contain everything you need for a balanced and healthy diet: carbohydrates, proteins, fiber, unsaturated fatty acids, fiber, minerals, and numerous vitamins. The nori seaweed sheets, which are filled with all sorts of healthy ingredients, are real health makers! In addition to vitamin A, B1, B2, niacin, and vitamin C, they contain iodine and protein.
From now on, susharitos can be on the menu more often! Since susharitos are easy to eat without cutlery, you can also take them to work or enjoy them on the go.
On the next page, we will show you how you can imitate the food trend at home.
Make sushi to yourself
Choose your favorites from the building blocks below and build your personal favorite Sushirito!
The building blocks
- base. Nori Sheets, Sushi Rice
- Protein. Salmon, tuna, tofu, crab, shrimp, boiled egg
- Vegetables. Carrot, cucumber, bean, avocado, bell pepper, cooked sweet potato, mango, apple, arugula, radish, red cabbage, lettuce, coriander, mint
- Toppings. Sesame, wasabi, soy sauce, peanut sauce, lime juice, pickled ginger, chopped peanuts
Preparation:
- First cook the sushi rice.
- Then cut the vegetables, lettuce, and herbs into strips.
- Place a sheet of nori on a cutting board. If you have a bamboo mat handy, place it under the nori sheet. The mat makes it easier to roll up the susharito later. Cover the nori sheet with rice. The top and bottom edges should be left free, otherwise, the roll will not hold together later.
- Spread the desired protein component, vegetables, and toppings on the rice.
- Now use the mat to shape everything into a thick roll.
Now nothing stands in the way of enjoyment – enjoy your personal susharito creation!
