Steps:
- Into a large saucepan of salted boiling water stir rice and boil 10 minutes. Drain rice in a colander and rinse. Set colander over a kettle of boiling water (rice should not touch water) and steam rice, covered with a kitchen towel and lid, until fluffy and dry, 10 to 15 minutes (check water level in kettle occasionally, adding water if necessary).
- While rice is steaming, in a small saucepan bring 1/4 cup vinegar to a boil with sugar and salt, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and remove from heat. In a dry small skillet toast sesame seeds over moderate heat, stirring, until golden and fragrant and transfer to a small bowl.
- Transfer rice to a large bowl and stir in vinegar mixture. Cool rice and stir in sesame seeds, remaining 3 tablespoons vinegar, oil, ginger, scallions, carrot, and cucumber. Salad may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring salad to room temperature before proceeding.
- Dry-roast nori, 1 sheet at a time, directly above moderate heat (gas or electric burner), holding it at opposite corners and moving it back and forth, until it turns bright green, 30 seconds to 1 minute. With scissors cut nori into thin 2-inch-long strips.
- Peel and pit avocado. Quarter avoado and cut crosswise into thin slices. Add avocado to salad with surmimi if using and two thirds of nori strips and toss well.
- Make dressing:
- In a small bowl stir wasabi powder into hot water and stir in cold water, soy sauce, and ginger juice.
- Serve salad sprinkled with remaining nori strips and drizzled with dressing.

CALIFORNIA CLUB CHICKEN WRAPS
I work in a corporate office, and our cafe has a 'wrap station' every Friday and these are a huge hit with everyone. I got hooked so I watched closely and finally made my own version at home; they are so delicious! If desired, place wrap in a panini maker for 1 to 2 minutes, or until wrap has grill marks and cheese is slightly melted.

CALIFORNIA ROLL SALAD
A delicious, light, spicy salad, excellent for summer cooking! A perfect side to any grilled Asian-style dishes. Wasabi paste may be used instead of the powder if it is more convenient. If you discover you have made the dressing too spicy, adjust by adding more mayonnaise.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salad will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and juicy chicken.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook it just until it is cooked through, but still tender.
- Use a variety of greens: A mix of different greens will add texture and flavor to your salad. Try using a combination of romaine lettuce, spinach, arugula, and radicchio.
- Add some crunch: Crunchy vegetables like celery, carrots, and cucumbers will add texture and freshness to your salad.
- Don't skimp on the dressing: A good dressing will bring all the flavors of your salad together. Use a dressing that is flavorful and complements the other ingredients in your salad.
Conclusion:
The California Club Salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is packed with fresh, healthy ingredients and is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a light and flavorful salad, give the California Club Salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
