Tropical Sushi Roll - Japanese/South American Fusion Roll

This unusual sushi roll has mango, cream cheese, and fried shrimp or salmon on the inside. It's draped with a thin layer of avocado on top, and then drizzled with a tart and savory passion fruit sauce. It's a delicious combination of flavors that represents the creative mixture of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine in Peru.
