Yield Makes about 60 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 firm-ripe mango
1 pound jumbo lump crab meat
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons wasabi powder* or wasabi paste*
ten 8 x 7 1/2-inch sheets toasted nori*
1 cup packed fresh mint leaves
*available at Asian markets and some specialty foods shops and supermarkets

Steps:

  • Cut skin from mango and cut flesh into julienne strips. Pick over crab meat to remove any bits of cartilage and shell and in a bowl stir together with lime juice, brown sugar, and salt to taste. If using wasabi powder, in a small bowl stir together with 2 teaspoons water and let stand, covered, 10 minutes to make wasabi paste.
  • Cut nori sheets in half lengthwise. On a work surface put a sushi mat (see above note) with bamboo strips of mat parallel to front of work surface. (Alternatively, use a 9-inch square of heavy-duty foil as a mat.) Put 1 nori piece on mat with a short side lined up with edge of mat that is closest to you. Spread 1/4 teaspoon wasabi paste across bottom edge of nori and top with 5 or 6 mint leaves so that some stick out on each side. Top mint leaves evenly with a heaping tablespoon crab mixture and 2 or 3 mango strips. Beginning with a short side and using mat as a guide, roll up nori tightly (use mat to help tighten roll). Seal seam with a little water and with a sharp knife cut roll crosswise into 3 pieces. Make more rolls in same manner. Nori rolls may be made 3 hours ahead and chilled, covered.

I would have liked these rolls more if they had more crab in them.

I'm allergic to crab, so I couldn't try these rolls. But they looked delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my rolls didn't turn out as good as the ones in the picture.

I had a hard time finding crab, so I used shrimp instead. The rolls were still good, but I think they would have been better with crab.

These rolls are perfect for a summer party or potluck. They're light and refreshing, and they can be made ahead of time.

I love the combination of flavors in these rolls. The crab is sweet and delicate, the mango is tangy and refreshing, and the mint adds a nice pop of flavor.
