Philadelphia Roll Recipe
Learn how to make a Homemade Philadelphia Roll, with a creamy filling just like the sushi Restaurants, using Philadelphia cream cheese. It's easy, much cheaper to make at home, and delicious! I often omit the smoked salmon to make it kid-friendly.
Equipment
- 1 Bamboo sushi mat
- 1 Bowl of water, (for dipping hands or a knife into for easier handling)
Ingredients
Philadelphia Roll:
- 8 oz cream cheese, (Philadelphia brand)
- 1/2 English cucumber , (julienned)
- 5 cups cooked and seasoned sushi rice
- 10 Roasted seaweed sheets , (cut in half)
Instructions
- Prepare the sushi rice according to the instructions and season it. Set aside to cool.
- Cut the cream cheese and cucumbers into strips. Dip your knife into water for easier slicing when handling cream cheese.
- Place the bamboo mat in a gallon-sized freezer bag. Place half of a seaweed sheet onto the sushi mat—Spread 1/2 cup of the prepared sushi rice over the seaweed.
- Flip it over to the other side and place a few strips of cream cheese and cucumbers across the center or the bottom half of the seaweed. Roll up tightly, creating tension with the mat.
- Slice the Philadelphia rolls using a sharp knife (that has been dipped into water) and slice into eight equal slices. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Variations: can add smoked salmon or avocado slices. Keep in mind that the avocado can brown after storage.
