Cali Roll Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare Sushi Rice

   Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

2. 2

   Season Rice

   In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice. Let it cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Prepare Crab Mix

   In a bowl, combine crab meat and mayonnaise. Mix well and set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare Vegetables

   Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and cut into thin strips. Slice cucumber into thin strips as well.

5. 5

   Assemble the Roll

   Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a nori sheet shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and grab a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

6. 6

   Add Fillings

   In the center of the rice, place a line of the crab mix, followed by avocado and cucumber strips.

7. 7

   Roll the Sushi

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

8. 8

   Cut the Roll

   Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 8 equal pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.

9. 9

   Serve

   Arrange the sushi pieces on a plate and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
