🥢 Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked sushi rice (seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, salt)
- 4 nori sheets (seaweed wrappers)
- 1 cup cooked shredded crab, tuna, or chicken (or spicy crab mix)
- ½ avocado, sliced
- ½ cucumber, julienned
- 2 tbsp cream cheese (optional)
- Soy sauce, sesame seeds, and sriracha mayo for serving
- Olive oil spray or cooking spray
🔪 Instructions:
- Prepare your filling:
Mix cooked shredded protein with a bit of mayo and sriracha if desired. Set out all fillings so they’re ready to assemble. - Lay out the nori:
Place a nori sheet on a cutting board. Add a small square of rice in the center and gently press to flatten. - Layer your fillings:
On top of the rice, layer crab mix (or tuna/chicken), avocado slices, cucumber, and a dab of cream cheese. Fold the nori into a square or triangle, wrapping tightly like an envelope. - Air fry to crispy perfection:
Lightly spray each wrap with oil. Place in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) and cook for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway until golden and crispy. - Serve & dip:
Let cool for 2 minutes, then slice in half and serve with soy sauce, spicy mayo, or eel sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for extra flair.
Tips:
- Use plastic wrap when folding to help the nori stay firm.
- Want extra crunch? Add panko to the outside before air frying!
Crispy, customizable, and packed with bold flavors—these air fryer sushi wraps are the perfect fusion of fun and flavor in every bite.
