Philadelphia roll

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Philadelphia Roll is a type of sushi that originated in the United States. It is a popular choice in Japanese cuisine restaurants across the globe, particularly in Western countries. The roll is named after the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where it was first created.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

The Philadelphia Roll is typically made with rice, nori (seaweed), salmon, and cream cheese. Some variations may also include cucumber, avocado, or onion. The roll is often served with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

To prepare a Philadelphia Roll, the sushi rice is spread onto a sheet of nori. The salmon and cream cheese are then placed on top of the rice. The nori is then rolled up using a sushi mat, enclosing the ingredients inside. The roll is then sliced into bite-sized pieces.

History[edit | edit source]

The Philadelphia Roll was created in the late 20th century as a part of the sushi boom in the United States. The roll was named after the city of Philadelphia, known for its production of cream cheese. The combination of salmon and cream cheese was inspired by the popular bagel and lox dish.
