Lion King Roll Recipe

Lion king’s sushi roll is one of the most crowd-pleasing dishes that originally belongs to the Japanese sushi roll. And this Lion king sushi is a baked sushi roll with the flavor of Salmon slices and seasoning-rice, crab meat with a few fresh vegetables. This dish is well known in California inside-out rolls, named Uramaki. 

And it was most probably invented by the restaurants on the West Coast. There are many versions of sushi rolls made just on the basis of uramaki postures. One of them, my favorite, is Salmon slices baked Lion king sushi roll. 

This one also is the most wanted roll for regular sushi eaters. So, hurry and go for the recipe following my easy instructions.
