Although sushi in general has a reputation for being very light, many sushi eaters find themselves stuffed after a tasty roll. Enter the Hawaiian roll. The Hawaiian roll tastes light and refreshing, and unmistakably Hawaiian.
Made with cooked shrimp, avocadoes and mangoes, the Hawaiian roll is an easy way to satisfy your appetite without feeling heavy and lethargic afterwards.
Let’s take a closer look at Hawaiian roll nutrition facts.
Major Nutrients Found In A Hawaiian Roll
The Hawaiian roll nutrition chart above proves that making sushi lighter takes just enough off fat, cholesterol and sodium so you can eat it guilt free. With more than 600 calories per roll, the Hawaiian roll is definitely a full meal, and the sodium count is much lower than other sushi rolls. Keep an eye on fat and sodium intake before and after eating a Hawaiian roll and the weight should still come off!
Storing/Selecting
The Hawaiian roll should be eaten fresh due to the fresh seafood, fruits and vegetables contained within. The shrimp should be pink in color and easy to bite and the mango and avocado should be bright and colorful. If it isn’t, your Hawaiian roll isn’t fresh.
To store your Hawaiian roll, keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to eat it, but no longer than a day. Once the avocado and mango begin to age, they will turn brown and mushy. Even prepackaged Hawaiian rolls should be stored for no longer than a day…and don’t forget to check expiration dates for store-bought sushi.
Eat It With:
The best way to enjoy a Hawaiian roll is to dip each piece of the roll into the soy sauce, wasabi and ginger mixture. Many Hawaiian rolls are served with kewpie mayo, ginger and wasabi because the kewpie compliments the shrimp taste. Either option is delicious, but the kewpie mayo is made with egg yolks.
