California Rolls
Report
I could eat California Rolls all day long but they are so expensive to buy here! This Sushi is much cheaper to make and not as difficult as you may think!

Instructions
- Lay the bamboo sushi rolling mat on a cutting board with bamboo strips going horizontally from you. Cover the bamboo with plastic wrap. Put a sheet of dried seaweed on top of the mat, shiny side down. Spread sushi rice on top of the seaweed and press firmly. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sushi rice.
- Turn the sushi layer over so that the seaweed is on top. Place cucumber, avocado and crab lengthwise on the seaweed.
- Roll the bamboo mat forward, pressing the ingredients inside the cylinder-shaped sushi. Press the bamboo mat firmly with hands, then remove the rolled sushi.
- With a VERY sharp knife, cut the sushi roll into pieces. Serve with a shallow dish of soy sauce for dipping.
Notes
- This California Rolls recipe doesn't contain any raw seafood so I am not afraid to make them at home. I will only eat raw fish if I am at a trusted restaurant, and I am pretty picky about my raw seafood. I don’t dare to prepare it myself unless I know that I am getting it from ocean to my kitchen in less than 12 hours, so as you can probably guess with me living in BOISE, that doesn’t happen too often.
- The best rice to make sushi rice is a rice called “sushi rice.” It is a short-grain white Japanese rice or medium-grain California rice. It should say “sushi rice” right on the bag. If you can’t find either of those, Calrose rice works well in a pinch.
- Be aware that not all rice is created equal. Do not use basmati rice or jasmine rice. Neither of these rices are sticky enough for sushi. I can usually find it at the grocery store, but if you can’t find it there, check your local Asian market.
