Method
 

Prepare Sushi Rice
  1. First, start rinsing the sushi rice well with clean water to remove any starch.
  2. Take a saucepan or pot and fill it with water. Once the water starts boiling, pour the washed rice into the saucepan or pot.
  3. Cook the rice for 10 to 12 min on medium-high heat. If you’re using an instant pot, set it on high pressure for 7 to 8 minutes.
  4. After 12 minutes, turn off the flame. The rice is now ready.
  5. Shift rice to a bowl and let it cool down.
Preparation of Shrimp
  1. Add water with 1 tbsp of salt in a large pot and bring it to a boil.
  2. Add the shrimp and cover it.
  3. Cook the shrimp for 5 to 6 minutes.
  4. Once the shrimp is cooked, shift it to a bowl.
  5. Refrigerate it and go for a Boston roll.
Boston sushi roll
  1. Take the bamboo sushi mat and cover it with plastic wrap to prevent the rice from sticking to the bamboo.
  2. Lay down the bamboo sushi rolling mat on a cutting board.
  3. Take the half nori sheet and place it on the rolling bamboo mat. You can use a full sheet to prepare a large roll.
  4. Start placing your cooked rice on a nori sheet using soft and wet hands to avoid sticking. Make a thin layer of rice.
  5. Move your nori sheet close to the bottom edge of the bamboo mat. It should be half-inch away from the bottom.
  6. Now spread about ⅓ cup of tobiko or masago over the rice layered onto the nori sheet.
  7. Flip the nori sheet so the rice side goes down against the bamboo mat and nori is facing up.
  8. Cut the avocado, cucumber, and shrimp into slices and start placing in a row on top of the nori — the placement of the ingredients in a row line.
  9. Grab the bamboo sushi mat and nori with your thumb.
  10. Lift the edge and start rolling slowly with your fingers. Roll smoothly and don’t apply pressure.
  11. Keep tight and rolling until the roll is done and the edges mix. If you want, you can add some extra toppings.
  12. Now cut your Boston roll into small slices and serve with soy sauce, wasabi paste or mayonnaise.
  13. Enjoy eating
