Categories     appetizer

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 medium avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces
4 sheets nori
1/2 batch sushi rice, recipe follows
1/3 cup sesame seeds, toasted
1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into matchstick-size pieces
4 crabsticks, torn into pieces
Pickled ginger, for serving
Wasabi, for serving
Soy sauce, for serving
2 cups sushi or short grain rice
2 cups water, plus extra for rinsing rice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Squeeze the lemon juice over the avocado to prevent browning.
  • Cover a bamboo rolling mat with plastic wrap. Cut nori sheets in half crosswise. Lay 1 sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the plastic covered mat. Wet your fingers with water and spread about 1/2 cup of the rice evenly onto the nori. Sprinkle the rice with sesame seeds. Turn the sheet of nori over so that the rice side is down. Place 1/8 of the cucumber, avocado and crab sticks in the center of the sheet. Grab the edge of the mat closest to you, keeping the fillings in place with your fingers, and roll it into a tight cylinder, using the mat to shape the cylinder. Pull away the mat and set aside. Cover with a damp cloth. Repeat until all of the rice has been used. Cut each roll into 6 pieces. Serve with pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauce.
  • Place the rice into a mixing bowl and cover with cool water. Swirl the rice in the water, pour off and repeat 2 to 3 times or until the water is clear.
  • Place the rice and 2 cups of water into a medium saucepan and place over high heat. Bring to a boil, uncovered. Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cover. Cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • Combine the rice vinegar, sugar and salt in a small bowl and heat in the microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds. Transfer the rice into a large wooden or glass mixing bowl and add the vinegar mixture. Fold thoroughly to combine and coat each grain of rice with the mixture. Allow to cool to room temperature before using to make sushi or sashimi.
  • Yield: 4 cups

Time 1h50m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups water
2 cups uncooked white rice
½ cup seasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon white sugar, or as needed
1 teaspoon salt, or as needed
¼ pound cooked crab meat, drained of excess liquid and shredded
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
5 sheets nori (dry seaweed)
1 avocado, sliced
¼ cup red caviar, such as tobiko
1 English cucumber, seeded and sliced into strips
2 tablespoons drained pickled ginger, for garnish
2 tablespoons soy sauce, or to taste
1 tablespoon wasabi paste

Steps:

  • Wrap a sushi rolling mat completely in plastic wrap and set aside.
  • Bring water and rice 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. Transfer rice to a bowl and cut in rice vinegar using a rice paddle or wooden spoon. Season with 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste. Allow to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Combine crab meat with mayonnaise in a small bowl.
  • Place a sheet of nori on a flat work surface. Spread a thin layer of rice on top of the nori. Place the nori, rice side down, on the prepared rolling mat. Place 2 to 3 avocado slices on top of the nori in one layer. Top with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the crab mixture. Spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons tobiko lengthwise on one side of the avocado-crab mixture, and 2 cucumber strips on the other side. Using the mat as a guide, carefully roll the California roll into a tight log. Remove the rolling mat. Top roll with more tobiko, cover with plastic wrap, and gently press the tobiko into the top of the roll. Remove the plastic and cut roll into 6 even pieces using a wet knife. Repeat with remaining sheets of nori and filling. Serve garnished with pickled ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi paste

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup uncooked short-grain white rice
1 cup water
¼ cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ cup imitation crabmeat, finely chopped
¼ cup mayonnaise
8 sheets nori (dry seaweed)
2 ½ tablespoons sesame seeds
1 cucumber, cut into thin spears
2 avocados - pitted, peeled, and sliced the long way

Steps:

  • Wash the rice in several changes of water until the rinse water is no longer cloudy, drain well, and place in a covered pan or rice cooker with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cover the pan. Allow the rice to simmer until the top looks dry, about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, and let stand for 10 minutes to absorb the rest of the water.
  • Mix the rice vinegar and sugar in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved, and stir the mixture into the cooked rice until well combined. Allow the rice to cool, and set aside.
  • Mix the imitation crabmeat with mayonnaise in a bowl, and set aside. To roll the sushi, cover a bamboo rolling mat with plastic wrap. Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the plastic wrap. With wet fingers, firmly pat a thin, even layer of prepared rice over the nori, leaving 1/4 inch uncovered at the bottom edge of the sheet. Sprinkle the rice with about 1/2 teaspoon of sesame seeds, and gently press them into the rice. Carefully flip the nori sheet over so the seaweed side is up.
  • Place 2 or 3 long cucumber spears, 2 or 3 slices of avocado, and about 1 tablespoon of imitation crab mixture in a line across the nori sheet, about 1/4 from the uncovered edge. Pick up the edge of the bamboo rolling sheet, fold the bottom edge of the sheet up, enclosing the filling, and tightly roll the sushi into a cylinder about 1 1/2 inch in diameter. Once the sushi is rolled, wrap it in the mat and gently squeeze to compact it tightly.
  • Cut each roll into 1 inch pieces with a very sharp knife dipped in water.

INSIDE-OUT CALIFORNIA ROLL

Time 15m

Yield 1 roll

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 sheet nori
1 cup cooked and seasoned sushi rice
Tobiko, for garnish
Black and blond sesame seeds, for garnish
Black and blond sesame seeds, for garnish
2 cooked snow crab legs, shelled and meat reserved
2 cooked snow crab legs, shelled and meat reserved
1 avocado, diced
1 cucumber, peeled and julienned
Pickled ginger, for serving
Wasabi, for serving

Steps:

  • On a sushi mat lay the nori and cover with a thin layer of the seasoned sushi rice going all the way to the edges. Sprinkle with some sesame seeds and tobiko. Flip the nori sheet over so the rice is against the sushi mat. Directly on the nori sheet, place the snow crab meat and some avocado and cucumber pieces on top of each other, horizontally across the bottom third of the sheet, 1 inch from the edge. Roll up tightly using the mat. Cut into 6 pieces and serve with pickled ginger and wasabi.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients, especially the rice. Look for short-grain Japanese rice, which is stickier than other types of rice and will hold the roll together better.
  • Make sure the rice is cooked properly. It should be tender but not mushy. If the rice is too dry, it will be difficult to roll.
  • Use a bamboo rolling mat to make the rolls. This will help you get a tight, even roll.
  • Don't overfill the rolls. Too much filling will make them difficult to roll and may cause them to fall apart.
  • Be careful when cutting the rolls. Use a sharp knife and cut through the roll in one smooth motion.
  • Serve the rolls immediately, or wrap them in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Inside-out California rolls are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect inside-out California rolls like a pro!
