1. 01.Cook the sushi rice as directed on the package or in a rice cooker. Allow it to cool until it reaches room temperature.

02.Place a nori seaweed sheet on a clean kitchen towel or a bamboo sushi mat.

04.Sprinkle the rice with black sesame seeds.

05.Turn the rice-covered nori sheet over so the rice is on the mat or towel.

07.On top of the cream cheese, layer the sliced avocado and cooked shrimp halves.

08.Begin rolling the sushi away from you with the bamboo mat or cloth, tucking in the contents as you go. To make a firm roll, use mild pressure.

09.After rolling, wet a sharp knife and slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.

10.Drizzle eel sauce over the sliced Dragon Roll and decorate with black sesame seeds.

11.Rep with the remainder of the ingredients.

12.Place the Dragon Roll sushi on a serving plate.
