Instructions
- Cook sushi rice: Add the washed rice and water to the rice cooker, and cook according to the instruction. Once cooked, transfer the hot rice to a large bowl and let it cool down slightly. When it’s still very warm, stir in the sushi vinegar (or the mixture of rice vinegar, sugar and salt).
- Make crab salad topping: While the rice is cooking, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut imitation crab and shrimp into small chunks.
- Add them to a mixing bowl, and season with salt, pepper, and spicy mayo. (If you’d like to make a non-spicy version, you can use mayo only.)
- Place the mixture to a baking pan, and bake for 10-15 minutes until the top is slightly golden brown.
- Make volcano rolls: Lay out the bamboo mat with an optional piece of plastic wrap on top (this will prevent the rice from sticking to the mat).
- Fold the nori sheets in half and split them by hands or using a pair of scissors.
- Place half of the nori sheet on top of the bamboo.
- Take ¾ cup of cooked rice and evenly spread over nori. (You can dip your hands in vinegar water to prevent sticking.)
- Pat down the rice with your hands and sprinkle with optional sesame seeds.
- Flip the rice covered nori sheet so that the rice is facing down.
- Place imitation crab sticks, avocado, and cucumber on top of the nori.
- Place the thumbs underneath the bamboo mat and lift the edge up and over the filling.
- Roll the bamboo mat away from you and apply some pressure to tighten it up. Keep rolling until the ends meet.
- Once the roll is complete, move it to the cutting board and cut each roll into 8 pieces.
- Arrange about 8 pieces of sushi rolls on a plate, and top them with the freshly baked crab salad topping. You can drizzle some spicy mayo and sprinkle optional tobiko or masago on top. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Tezu water for dipping hands: Mix together 1/4 cup water and 2 teaspoons rice vinegar.
- To toast sesame seeds, add them to a dry skillet on medium heat. Spread them evenly in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until lightly browned.
