Delicious and surprisingly simple to make. Sushi is expensive to buy at the supermarket, so making your own will save you tons of money. My husband is a sushi freak! I make this for him all the time.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups water
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
2 sheets nori seaweed sheets
¼ cucumber, peeled and sliced lengthwise
2 pieces imitation crab legs
½ (3 ounce) package cream cheese, sliced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root

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.

Number Of Ingredients 20

Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 whole egg beaten
1 to 2 cups seltzer
A few ice cubes
1 nori sheet
1/2 cup sushi rice
1/8 avocado
2 tablespoons Spicy Mayonnaise, recipe follows
3 egg yolks*
1 teaspoon chopped shallot
1/2 clove garlic
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon miso paste
2 teaspoon green yuzo chile paste
2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 softshell crab
2 cups tempura batter

Steps:

For the Tempura Batter: In a mixing bowl, blend the dry ingredients. Stir in the egg, and while stirring, pour in the seltzer, 1/2 cup at a time. Stir to completely combine ingredients. Add enough seltzer so that the blend is the consistency of unwhipped heavy cream. Stir in a few ice cubes to keep the batter very cold.
Preheat oil to 350 degrees F. Dip softshell crab into tempura batter. Fry crab until it turns golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain. Cut into thirds. Place all ingredients on bamboo mat in the following order: nori, rice, crab, avocado, and spicy mayonnaise and roll in a jelly roll fashion.
Place all ingredients except oil in blender. On medium speed, slowly add the oil to emulsify into mayonnaise.

Tips:

Choose fresh and high-quality ingredients, especially the soft-shell crab.
Make sure the soft-shell crab is properly cleaned and deveined.
Use sushi-grade rice and cook it according to the package instructions.

When slicing the sushi rolls, use a sharp knife to get clean and even slices.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
