California Roll Ingredients

Method

Sushi Preparation

  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, let it cool slightly and mix in a small amount of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to taste.

  2. 2

    Cut Vegetables

    Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips for easy rolling.

  3. 3

    Prepare Fish

    Cut the fresh tuna and salmon into thin slices. Ensure shrimp is peeled and cooked if you're using raw shrimp.

California Roll Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix Filling

    In a bowl, combine the crab meat and mayonnaise. Mix well until evenly coated.

  2. 5

    Assemble California Roll

    Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top. In the center, add the crab mixture, avocado, and cucumber. Roll tightly using the mat, sealing the edge with a bit of water.

  3. 6

    Finish California Roll

    Sprinkle sesame seeds on the outside of the roll for added flavor and texture.

Final Assembly

  1. 7

    Slice Sushi Rolls

    Using a sharp knife, slice the California roll and assorted sushi pieces into bite-sized pieces. Clean the knife between cuts for clean edges.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Arrange the assorted sushi and California roll on a platter. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
