California Rolls Ingredients

Method

California Rolls Preparation Steps

  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, then mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl and fold it gently into the rice.

  2. 2

    Prepare Fillings

    Cut the cucumber and avocado into thin strips. If using imitation crab, shred it into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Rolls

    Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on the mat. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of nori at the top edge. Arrange a line of crab meat, cucumber, and avocado along the bottom edge of the rice.

  4. 4

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly to keep the roll tight. Seal the edge of the nori with a bit of water. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

  5. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
