Fiery Yellowtail Maki Roll
Fiery Yellowtail Maki Roll brings a balanced heat from Sriracha-laced Kewpie mayo wrapped around tender yellowtail, offset by cool cucumber and a pop of tobiko crunch. The seasoned sushi rice ties everything together with gentle sweetness and tang, perfect for a light dinner, sushi night with friends, or an impressive party platter.
