Love making sushi at home? This tasty collection of homemade sushi recipes and rolls are perfect for your next sushi night!
Let’s face the facts.
Restaurant sushi is expensive, store-bought sushi is lacking, and homemade sushi is intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be!!!
Making sushi at home is actually a lot easier than you think, plus it’s super affordable! Many seafood markets and grocery stores now carry sashimi-grade seafood and it’s oh so delicious!
We often frequent our local Gulf-coast seafood market for our sushi ingredients but have also had great luck with Whole Foods, The Fresh Market, and even Publix carrying all we need to make tasty sushi rolls at home!
In an attempt to have y’all join me on team “make your own sushi at home” I’ve even put together a huge tutorial with tips and techniques for making your own sushi.

First up, my infamous avocado wrapped sushi rolls!

These can be made pescatarian with your favorite sashimi-grade fish or vegetarian with an array of healthy veggies as the filling.
This is a great place to start! My easy peasy sushi tutorial has lots of tips, tricks, and photos to help you roll like a pro along with sushi roll and sauce recipes galore!
I’ve also included a bevvy of sushi sauces including spicy mayo, eel sauce, and more!
The Philadelphia Roll is one of our favorites! Also called Philly Rolls and Japanese Bagel Rolls, these tasty homemade sushi rolls are super simple and only require a few ingredients to make!
Smoked salmon can be purchased at most grocery stores and makes a tasty pairing with cream cheese and rice. We love adding fresh cucumber to ours and a sprinkling of everything bagel seasoning. SO GOOD!
The spicy sriracha shrimp and cool cucumber in this homemade volcano roll are a match made in heaven. Whip up this delicious sushi restaurant copycat at home – it’s easier than you think!
The spicy mayo volcano topping is LEGENDARY! It’s also really great on deconstructed sushi bowls with a rice and veggie base. Love it so!
These homemade Naruto Cucumber Rolls are fun to make and even more fun to eat!
These tasty rice-free and seaweed-free rolls are wrapped with cucumber and filled with fresh seafood! Enjoy this sushi bar favorite at home! We love ours with fresh sashimi-grade tuna from our local seafood market along with cream cheese, jalapeño pepper, and avocado.
These homemade Bacon Avocado Sushi Rolls are slightly unconventional sushi restaurant copycat but SO insanely tasty! The crispy, smoky, salty crunch it brings to the table is seriously out of this world.
I also have a few less than conventional sushi rolls that are absolutely delicious. One uses quinoa in addition to the rice for extra flavor and nutrients and the other features a southwest twist with yellow rice and veggies!
appetizers and side dishes to serve with sushi
Not sure what to serve with your sushi? I’ve got you covered! Here are some of my all-time favorite side dishes and appetizers for sushi night at home:
- Kani Salad (with crab and cucumber)
- Spicy Edamame
- Blistered Shishito Peppers
- Vegetarian Quinoa Fried Rice
- Sriracha Glazed Seared Scallops
- Wonton Soup
- Miso Soup
homemade sushi sauces
You cant have sushi without getting a little saucy! Soy sauce and ponzu sauce are classic store-bought staples, but there a few sauces you can make at home too!
spicy mayo
- 1 TBSP homemade or store bought mayo
- 1/2 TBSP sriracha chili sauce
Adjust to your ideal heat level from mild to unreasonably spicy! We love ours super spicy.
Feel free to substitute with vegan mayo or plain greek yogurt if needed.
Eel sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin (Japanese sweet white wine)
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Heat in a saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly to thicken. (approx. 10 min) That’s it! Eel sauce is easy to make and adds a delicious kiss of sweetness when drizzled over your favorite sushi rolls.
