Philadelphia Rolls

1 serving

30 minutes

Philadelphia rolls are a symbol of the sophistication of Japanese cuisine, combining the tenderness of cream cheese, the freshness of salmon, and the softness of rice. Their history began in the USA, where chefs adapted traditional sushi for Western tastes. Salmon, a symbol of purity and wealth, adds refinement to the roll, while cream cheese contributes softness and a velvety texture. This roll has become a favorite due to its harmonious flavor combination and ease of preparation. It is perfect for dinner with friends, festive gatherings, or romantic evenings. Traditionally served with ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce to highlight the depth and richness of flavor.
