Cali Sushi Roll Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, allow it to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare Vegetables

    Thinly slice the avocado and cucumber. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Make Serrano Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix serrano aioli ingredients until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sushi Roll

    On a bamboo sushi mat, place a sheet of nori, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch of space at the top. In the center of the rice, layer shredded krab, avocado slices, cucumber sticks, and sliced serrano pepper.

  5. 5

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly to keep the roll tight. Once rolled, seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Arrange on a plate and serve with house-made ponzu sauce for dipping and drizzle with serrano aioli.
