Notes
1️⃣ Freshness is Key – Use sushi-grade salmon for the best flavor and safety. If needed, swap it with cooked shrimp, seared tuna, or tofu.
2️⃣ Balance Your Ingredients – Combine creamy, crunchy, and sweet elements like avocado, cucumbers, and mango for a well-rounded bite.
3️⃣ Make it Your Own – Adjust the base, toppings, and sauces to match your taste—go spicy with sriracha or keep it light with citrusy ponzu.
