There’s plenty of reasons to love Australia. To name just a just a few let think of all those endless sandy beaches, breathtaking nature, laid back people and of course lovely food. Aussies are real good cooks and they adore sushi! That’s the reason why we did a little research and found out little something about the most popular sushi rolls Down Under. Aussies love salmon, tuna, avocado and prawns, with salmon and avocado being top favourites, so let’s dig in and learn a bit more of their preferred bites.
1. California Roll
This lovely sushi roll is immensely popular all around the world, so it really isn’t much of a surprise that Aussies love it so much. Creamy avocado, super tasty prawns mix, roe, crunchy refreshing cucumbers, and some super healthy nori seaweed are definitely a winning comb! Just a dash of soy sauce and you’ve got yourself a little slice of sushi heaven. It really is no wonder California Roll is currently adored in Australia.
2. Spicy Tuna Roll
Aussies might be chill, relaxed and easy-going but this does not mean they’ll turn down a spicy bite! On the contrary, spicy tuna roll is amongst their favourite sushi dishes. If you opt for this sushi then your plate is about to be graced with delicious fresh tuna, top notch rice, nori seaweed, avocado, cucumbers and one special ingredient – shichimi togarashi! This is one very special Japanese spice, or better said a seven-spice mix adding up to the fiery element of this beloved sushi dish. With a little bit of sesame oil, you’ll quickly get a grasp of why the Australians love this sushi so much.
3. Salmon Avocado Uramaki
We’ve already found out that avocado and salmon really “speak the language” when it comes to people in Australia. So if we combine them, we hit the spot, right? Definitely true! Aussies spend a lot of their time on the beach so it’s only understandable they want to look their best and be in shape. This Uramaki is therefore perfect because alongside its fantastic taste it packs a bunch of protein and healthy fatty acids. Did we mention it literally melts in your mouth? Alongside this Uramaki feel free to order Spicy Salmon Uramaki, Salmon Poke
or Crunchy Tempura.
4. Philadelphia Roll
This creamy symphony blends east and west inside your mouth in the best way imaginable. Another avocado/salmon combination with added cream cheese turns this sushi dish into an experience you will love and return to. They say this sushi roll has the fastest growing popularity amongst Australians. The only thing left to do it to find out why!
5. Ebi Temaki
Even the proverbial laid-back Aussies sometimes find themselves in a rush and need a quick and delicious bite! That’s why Ebi Temaki found its place inside their hearts! Temaki, sometimes referred to as “fast food” sushi, offers a great sushi experience and saves time. Ebi Temaki mixes prawns, avocado, nor seaweed and rice all wrapped in a crunchy cone you will love.
