Caterpillar Roll - Sushi is a popular sushi roll often found in Japanese restaurants worldwide. It's also known as a Dragon roll in some places due to its dragon-like appearance. It's made with an inside-out sushi roll style, with the rice on the outside, creating the illusion of a furry caterpillar. The filling consists of eel and cucumber, and the top of the roll is layered with sliced avocado to resemble the caterpillar's stripes. This dish is perfect for sushi lovers who enjoy a playful twist on traditional sushi rolls.

Instructions

1.	Cut the cucumber and avocado into thin slices.
2.	Cut the eel into pieces.
3.	Place a sheet of nori on a sushi mat, and spread a layer of sushi rice evenly over it.
4.	Flip the nori so that the rice faces down, and arrange the cucumber, avocado, and eel pieces in a line across the center of the nori.
5.	Use the sushi mat to roll the nori tightly around the filling, making sure the edge with rice seals the roll.
6.	Cut the roll into even pieces using a sharp knife.
