Cooked Special Rolls Recipe

Directions for Cooking Special Rolls

1. 1

   Prepare Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, typically using a rice cooker or on the stovetop. Once cooked, let it cool slightly and season with rice vinegar.

2. 2

   Prepare Fillings

   While the rice is cooling, prepare your fillings. Dice the cucumber and avocado, and shred the imitation crab meat. Set aside.

3. 3

   Assemble the Rolls

   Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge free of rice.

4. 4

   Add Fillings

   Place a line of cooked shrimp, imitation crab meat, cream cheese, cucumber, and avocado across the center of the rice-covered nori.

5. 5

   Roll the Sushi

   Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight. Seal the edge with a little water.

6. 6

   Slice the Rolls

   Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to keep the edges clean.

7. 7

   Serve

   Arrange the sushi rolls on a platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
