The Caterpillar Roll, also known as a Dragon Roll, is an impressive roll with broiled bbq eel, cucumber and pickled root vegetable topped with thinly sliced avocado that seems to wrap around the outside surface of the roll. But don’t be fooled by this roll’s snazzy appearance! With a piece of plastic wrap, you can easily impress family and friends.

Caterpillar Roll Basics
4in x 7in piece of nori
prepared sushi rice
2 carrot sticks, marinated in vinegar dressing
2 cucumber sticks
3 slices broiled bbq eel
1/2 avocado
eel sauce
sesame seeds

Following the method for inside out rolls, use the first 5 ingredients. Set roll aside. Lay piece of plastic wrap over an unused piece of nori. Cut avocado into thin slices. Lay slices vertically side-by-side, slightly overlapping across the entire length of the nori. Carefully transfer the plastic wrap, avocado face down to the top of the reserved sushi roll. Shape with rolling mat. With plastic wrap still on top of roll, cut roll into 8 pieces. Shape once more with rolling mat before lifting away plastic wrap. Drizzle lightly with eel sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
