California Roll Ingredients
Method
Preparing Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse and Cook Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions, typically using a rice cooker or on the stovetop with water.
- 2
Season the Rice
Once the rice is cooked, let it cool for a few minutes. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the warm rice and gently fold it in to coat the rice evenly. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Roll Sushi
Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Arrange your choice of fillings (salmon, tuna, avocado, cucumber) horizontally in the center of the rice.

Form the Roll
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Seal the edge with a little water. Slice the roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife.

Prepare California Roll
On a new nori sheet, spread a layer of sushi rice as before. Lay down a line of imitation crab meat and a thin layer of cream cheese in the center. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
