Recipes : California Hand-Rolled Sushi
It seems like everyone, no matter what their feelings towards sashimi, likes California Hand-Rolled Sushi. I haven’t found a place down here yet to get it, so I’ve been thinking of trying my hand at making it myself. It doesn’t seem like it would be too difficult. Though it would probably take practice to get it just right. I figured that some of you might be interested in giving it a try as well.
Ingredients :
+ 8 sheets nori (dried seaweed sheets)
+ 1 1/2 cups uncooked long grain rice, washed and drained
+ 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
+ 3 tablespoons sugar
+ 2 teaspoons salt
+ 1/2 pound crabmeat or imitation crabmeat
+ 2 large ripe avocados
+ Wasabi
+ Soy Sauce
Directions :
1. Combine rice and 2 cups water in medium saucepan; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand 20 minutes, covered.
2. Combine vinegar, sugar and salt in small saucepan; heat only until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly.
3. Put the cooked rice nto large non-metal bowl, fluffing with a fork. Pour vinegar mixture, a little at a time, evenly over rice, gently folding to combine after each addition. Cool rice mixture to room temperature.
4. Cut or shred crabmeat into bite-size strips. Just before serving, cut each avocado in half; seed and peel. Cut each half lengthwise into 8 thin slices. Arrange avocado slices, nori and crabmeat on large platter.
5. Place nori on a flat surface. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons rice mixture in center of nori. Top with avocado slice and one piece crabmeat. Wrap nori around filling in cone shape to enclose. Serve with wasabi and soy sauce.

I used to LOVE Cali Rolls, but now that I have had sashimi and other spicier rolls, I hardly even like the taste of those simple rolls. In my blog I posted a pic of the stuff my friend brought over, but honestly it wasn’t even that good. I am having sushi tonight actually, a Volcano Roll, which is my favorite thing other than raw salmon. Definitely try it, unless you can’t handle spicy. I also love the Red Dragon. I am not sure if they are the same at all places, but definitely try those where you can!
I could never make sushi for myself because I would just be snacking as I made it and eating my favorite ingredients before they made it into the roll.
I like California rolls because you know that, no matter where they are from, they are going to be decent. I’ve had some gross sushi at places before. Store bought stuff is never as good as fresh. Especially if it’s anything beyond an extremely basic roll.
