California Roll
A California Roll is great for sushi fanatics and those new to sushi! Easy to make at home, it's the perfect bite of cucumber, avocado, imitation crab, rice, and nori.
Equipment
- 1 bamboo sushi rolling mat
- cling wrap
Ingredients
- 1 - 2 cups cooked sushi rice
- 4 sheets nori
- 6 pieces imitation crab
- 1 small cucumber cut into matchsticks
- 1 avocado thinly sliced
Recipe Instructions
- Cover your rolling mat with cling wrap. Place one piece of nori down.
- Wet your hands and grab a handful of rice and place it on the nori. Spread the rice evenly throughout the nori without mashing the rice too much. Flip it over so the nori is facing upwards.
- Arrange, in a horizontal row 1 inch from the end nearest to you, the crab followed by a row of avocado and a row of cucumber.
- Grabbing both nori and the mat, roll the mat over the filling so the extra space at the bottom touches the other side, squeezing down to make a nice tight roll. Squeeze down along the way to keep the roll from holding its shape.
- Transfer to a cutting board. Wet knife and cut into 6 equal pieces.
