Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice cooked, *see Notes
- ½ avocado
- 1 cucumber
- 6 pcs surimi aka imitation crab, *see Notes
- 2 heets nori seaweed *see Notes
- 4 Tablespoon Japanese mayonnaise *see Notes
- 2 Tablespoon sesame seeds *see Notes
Instructions
- Cut avocado into thinner slices. Peel the cucumber and cut into half lengthwise.
- Place your nori seaweed on your Sushi mat. Use a sushi mat wrapped in plastic so that the sushi won't stick.
- Spread almost half of your cooked (keep about 2-3 Tablespoons aside) rice all over your nori seaweed. The rice has to cover the seaweed completely and it needs to be an even layer.
- Turn the rice covered seaweed and spread the 2-3 Tablespoons of rice over one half of your seaweed, but keep about 1 inch or 2-centimeter distance from the bottom end of your seaweed. Spread it out to an even layer.
- Pour mayonnaise in one line in the center of the rice.
- Place a cucumber half over the mayonnaise and arrange 3 avocado slices on that in one line.
- Place 3 surimi in the center in one line.
- Take the seaweed with the toppings to the border of your plastic-wrapped mat, hold with both hands and start to roll in your sushi.
- Continue to roll in your sushi and press down with both hands to create a tight wrap. Roll until you have a tight sushi roll
- Place sushi roll on one side of your mat and sprinkle sesame seeds all over the rest of the mat.
- Roll so that the inside out sushi is picking up the sesame seeds and the roll is completely covered with sesame seeds.
- Take the sushi from the bamboo mat and cut into 1 inch or 2 centimeter thick slices or so that you are left with 8 thick slices.
- Arrange the california roll on a serving plate and serve with soya wasabi dipping options and some pickled sliced ginger.

Notes
- Use cooked sushi rice only and please follow my recipe to make sushi rice.
- Surimi is also called imitation crab meat. You can use crab meat too or cooked shrimp.
- Nori are seaweed sheets. Use unflavored plain maki sushi nori seaweed sheets to make this recipe.
- Japanese sushi is made with Japanese mayonnaise. It tastes a bit different from American mayonnaise but you can use that too as a substitution. See my Japanese mayo recipe on how to turn American mayo into a Japanese flavored mayo.
- Use black or white sesame seeds or both together.
- It's important to roll in the sushi slowly and as tight as possible. Take your time and press carefully down with both hands while rolling in.
