Easy California Roll
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add rice to water in pot and bring to soft boil. Cover and reduce to low for 20 minutes
- 2
Peel cucumber and slice into 1/2 inch sticks
- 3
Cut avocado in half (careful of seed) and "spoon" out then cut halves into 1/4 inch slices
- 4
Prepare workstation with bamboo mat or a towel with wax paper
- 5
If the rice still cooking you can search some Youtube videos on how to roll sushi to get a better explanation
- 6
Once rice is done, take a piece of nori and place it on bamboo mat or wax paper shiny side down and smear rice over 3/4 of the nori
- 7
Sprinkle some sesame seed over 1/2 of the rice opposite of the exposed nori
- 8
Flip the nori over so that all the rice is opposite of you, in other words the nori without rice is towards you, and place one piece of cucumber, some crab sticks to fit end to end, and about 3-4 pieces of avocado
- 9
Start to roll sushi pressing firmly and peeling back bamboo mat until rolled, at the end give a good press on the sushi
- 10
Using a sharp knife slice the sushi into 8 pieces

Another variant would be after adding the rice to nori, instead of flipping the nori over just place the filling right on the rice and roll. This version has the seaweed on the outside and the rice on the inside

The sauce pictured is a small blend of mayonnaise, sriracha, and cayenne powder squeezed through the corner of a zip lock bag

Authentic California Roll Authentic California Roll
This is a recipe I learnt in California. These are rolls are filled with shrimp, flying fish roe and crab sticks. It might be a lot of filling, but this combination is what makes it so good. We make this a lot in my house.-If you lay cling film over the sushi mat at the beginning, the rice won't stick to the mat once you flip it over.-Wrap the roll in cling film after rolling. It's easy to cut it if you cut it with the cling film.-This roll has avocado in it, so it's delicious if you eat it with wasabi and soy sauce. Recipe by PBJ -

Restaurant-style California Roll Restaurant-style California Roll
I learned how to make it while working part time at a Japanese restaurant in Canada. I don't know how much vinegar they added to the rice, but it was so little that you couldn't taste any. I made little adjustments to the standard sushi rice recipe to suit our family's tastes (using rice that isn't too vinegary).The sushi rice at the restaurant where I work doesn't taste like vinegar at all. If you use vinegary rice, it will taste entirely different when combined with the fillings.I like to mix in some white sesame seeds with the freshly cooked rice to add a bit of fun and variety to the texture.

Hand-Rolled California Rolls Hand-Rolled California Rolls
My husband loves sushi and eats quite a lot of it. But he doesn't really like imitation crab. I heard about this method from a sushi chef at Japanese restaurant here, and now my husband can eat California rolls. This recipe is easy on the wallet.The ratio for the canned crab and the chopped crab sticks is about 1:1. Please adjust the amount of liquid you drain from the canned crab, as well as the amount of mayonnaise. You don't really have to pay too much attention to the amount of liquid. But if you use these ingredients to make normal California rolls, then you should wring out the water very well.To make the spicy sauce, please refer to the recipe for spicy tuna rolls.

I was making American-style sushi for a few months as a sushi chef at a sushi counter.Since it's been a while now, I posted this recipe for my own reminder; I was starting to forget a few important points.If you press the lip too much in Step 9, the resulting rice won't turn out evenly.If you place 4 slices of avocados with 2 horizontal pairs, the sushi will have a nice round (or square) filling.
