Cali Roll Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl, and mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let it cool to room temperature.

  2. 2

    Prepare Fillings

    Julienne the cucumber and slice the avocado. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Roll

    Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface. Lay a nori sheet on the mat, shiny side down. With wet fingers, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Arrange cucumber, avocado, and imitation crab horizontally across the rice.

  4. 4

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly to shape the roll. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Cali rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
