Inside-Out Roll

An Inside-Out Roll, or Uramaki, is a style of sushi where the rice is on the outside and the seaweed (nori) is on the inside, wrapping the fillings. Typical ingredients include vinegared sushi rice, nori, and a variety of fillings like avocado, cucumber, crab, or raw fish, often coated with sesame seeds or fish roe. It originated in the United States as a creative adaptation of traditional Japanese sushi.

It provides a good source of protein from fish or imitation crab, along with key nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids (if using fatty fish) and vitamins from vegetables. A typical serving of one roll (6-8 pieces) ranges from 300 to 500 calories.
