Ingredients for Mango Avocado Sushi For 3 people

How to choose fresh ripe mangoes
- A good mango has a uniformly yellow skin, smooth surface, not too bumpy, and no unusual tiny spots on the surface.
- In addition, when pressed, it should feel firm, heavy, not mushy, and the stem should still be firm without breaking off from the body.
- Moreover, you can also rely on the aroma to choose. If you smell a pure, gentle fragrance, it’s a sign of naturally ripe mango; on the contrary, if it has a strong chemical smell, you should definitely avoid buying it.

Ingredients for Salmon Avocado Sushi For 3 people
Seaweed for sushi 1 sheet White rice 100 gr (1 cup) Avocado 1 fruit Salmon fillet 150 gr Salmon roe 50 gr Asparagus 100 gr Fresh milk a little
How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh salmon fillet
- Fresh salmon fillet will have bright colors, firm texture, and elasticity, with a fishy smell but not overly pungent. If the color is pale and the flesh is soft and mushy, then it is spoiled fish.
- The surface of the salmon should be dry, without tiny brown spots, and should have a light aroma, with no fishy or strange smells.
How to choose fresh asparagus
- Fresh asparagus has a straight stem, and the tips are not too curled. When held, it should feel firm and crunchy, and it can make a “snap” sound when broken.
- It is best to choose asparagus that is bright green, not yellowing, with dark green or light purple tips, as these are fresh, quality asparagus.
- Avoid buying asparagus that is chipped or has spots. If the asparagus shows flowers, it should definitely not be purchased.
Where to buy salmon roe?
- The most common place to buy salmon roe is at fresh food counters in shopping malls and supermarkets, as they will have a clear origin and it is easy to control the product’s expiration date.
- Additionally, you can also buy from establishments that import live fish used for sashimi!

How to Make Salmon Avocado Sushi

Prepare the Ingredients
First, take the salmon fillet you bought and use tweezers to remove any bones left in the meat, then soak the fish in fresh milk for about 5 – 7 minutes.
Next, use a towel to dry the fish meat, then cut it into bite-sized pieces and rinse to drain.
How to Remove the Fishy Smell from Salmon:- To remove the fishy smell from salmon, dilute saltwater and lemon juice, then rinse the salmon with it.
- Additionally, ginger is also a very effective odor remover. Just crush it, then mix it with white wine and roll the fish through this mixture for about 2 – 3 minutes, then rinse to drain.
- Moreover, you can also use milk to eliminate the smell. Just soak the fish in milk for 5 minutes, then rinse to drain.
See details: How to Remove the Fishy Smell from Salmon
For asparagus, remove the tough stems and wash thoroughly. At the same time, put a pot of water on the stove with 500ml of water on high heat. Once the water boils, add the asparagus and boil for 3 – 5 minutes, then remove and let cool.
The avocado should be pitted, peeled, and cut into very thin slices.

How to Choose Fresh Avocado
- Fresh avocados will have a small stem, still fresh, and feel firm to the touch. The outer skin is plump and shiny, without any strange marks or signs of decay.
- Additionally, when gently squeezed, the flesh inside should be soft but firm. Moreover, if you see tiny yellow spots on the skin, you should buy it immediately as it is likely to have a higher fat content, with a creamy, rich flesh.
- You should avoid choosing fruits with a purple skin as they are not as creamy and tasty. Avocados that are short and feel light should not be purchased as they are not good quality.
Thus, the above article has provided 3 super quick ways to make avocado sushi rolls that are not only nutritious but also delicious. Try your hand at it to surprise the whole family!
