Tofu imitation Japanese crabsticks, called kanikama. I use egg silken tofu for the texture, caviar, dashi and anchovy paste for the seafood flavor, and achiote paste for a natural red color.They came out amazing.
I will test these sushi rolls on my friends, not tell them the crabmeat is an imitation of an imitation. I hope they will enjoy them as much as I do.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
