- Place your masago on a plate then roll each sushi slice on to the masago to coat the outer layer of sushi with it. Serve.
I love these California Rolls (maybe because I am a native Californian)! I especially like the avocado in the roll, but unfortunately I have to take out the cucumbers- which I don’t like.
