"CALIFORNIA ROLL" SALAD



Categories     Salad     Ginger     Rice     Vegetable     Side     Vegetarian     Horseradish     Carrot     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Serves 6 to 8 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons rice vinegar* (not seasoned)
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (preferably unhulled*)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped pickled ginger*
4 scallions, cut lengthwise into thin 1-inch strips (about 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup finely shredded carrot
1 large seedless cucumber (about 1 pound), quartered lengthwise, cored, and
2 sheets nori (paper-thin sheets of dried seaweed)*
1 avocado (preferably California)
1/4 pound surimi (mock crab legs) if desired, sliced thin
For dressing
2 teaspoons wasabi (Japanese green horseradish) powder*
1 tablespoon hot water
2 tablespoons cold water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons ginger juice (squeezed from freshly grated gingerroot)
*available at Asian markets, natural foods stores, and some supermarkets

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



California Club Chicken Wraps image

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.

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!
