Steps:
- Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in rice vinegar and salt. Allow to cool completely.
- Lay out seaweed sheets. Moisten hands with water, then spread the rice evenly on each sheet, leaving a 1/2 inch gap along one edge, lengthwise. Arrange strips of cucumber, imitation crabmeat, and cream cheese in a straight line along the side opposite of the gap. Roll the sushi from the toppings to the exposed end of the the seaweed sheet.
- Using a sharp wet knife, slice each roll into 5 or 6 pieces. Serve with minced ginger on the side.

Steps:
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the ginger and rice. Cover and simmer 20 minutes or until rice is cooked.
- Add the rice vinegar and salt to the rice, mix well.
- Lay out your seaweed sheets.
- Moisten your hands with water and divide the rice evenly between the 2 seaweed sheets, flatten the rice. Leave about a half inch of space not covered with rice at the top of the sheets. This will make the sushi roll easier to close.
- About an inch from the bottom, arrange the crab, cucumber and cream cheese in a straight line, from one side to the other (left to right).
- Gently but firmly, roll the sushi as tight as possible (from bottom to top), being careful not to rip the seaweed sheets.
- Wet a very sharp knife and cut the rolls into individual pieces of sushi.

CREAM CHEESE AND CRAB SUSHI ROLLS
My grand daughter and I are going to spend a day making different kinds of sushi. This variation is going to be included because it's a little different than our standard California rolls.

Steps:
- 1. Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
- 2. Stir in rice vinegar and salt. Allow to cool completely.
- 3. Lay out seaweed sheets. Moisten hands with water, then spread the rice evenly on each sheet, leaving a 1/2 inch gap along one edge, lengthwise. Arrange strips of cucumber, imitation crabmeat, and cream cheese in a straight line along the side opposite of the gap. Roll the sushi from the toppings to the exposed end of the the seaweed sheet.
- 4. Using a sharp wet knife, slice each roll into 5 or 6 pieces.
- 5. Serve with minced ginger on the side.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, wild-caught crab, and use full-fat cream cheese for a rich, creamy filling.
- Make sure your rice is cooked properly. It should be sticky, but not mushy. Rinse the rice well before cooking to remove the starch, and use the correct amount of water. Don't overcook the rice, or it will become too soft and difficult to roll.
- If you are using imitation crab, be sure to shred it finely. This will help it to blend in with the other ingredients and give the rolls a more uniform texture.
- Use a bamboo rolling mat to help you roll the sushi. This will make the process easier and will help you to create even, tight rolls.
- Be patient! Making sushi can be a bit tricky at first, but with practice, you'll be able to make perfect rolls every time.
Conclusion:
Cream cheese and crab sushi rolls are a delicious and versatile appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a quick and easy weeknight meal. With a little practice, you can easily make these rolls at home. So get creative and experiment with different fillings and flavors. You're sure to find a combination that you love!
