Steps:
- Heat your grill.
- For the Wasabi Mayo: Mix all the ingredients together. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the Rock Shrimp Burgers: process half the shrimp with the egg. Coarsely chop the remaining shrimp and put it into a bowl. Add the processed shrimp and the parsley, bread crumbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Divide the mixture into 4 portions and form them into patties. Grill them on medium heat until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. (You can also fry them in a skillet with a little oil.)
- To serve: place a burger onto a bun. Top with a slice of tomato and some Wasabi Mayo. Cover with the bun top and serve.
- For mini-burgers: Prepare the buns by cutting out smaller buns with a 1 1/2-inch diameter ring mold or biscuit cutter. Take a heaping tablespoon of the burger mixture and form it into a small patty. Continue with the remaining mixture until all the burgers are formed. Grill them over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place a shrimp burger onto a mini-bun. Top with a slice of cherry tomato and some Wasabi Mayo. Cover with the bun top and secure them with a toothpick.

CALIFORNIA ROLLS
Steps:
- If the crab is in sticks, cut in half. If in chunks, roughly chop. Transfer to a small bowl and fold in the mayonnaise, if using, until well combined; set aside.
- Combine the rice vinegar with 1 cup water in a small bowl. This will keep the rice from sticking to your hands.
- Place a bamboo sushi mat with the slats running crosswise directly in front of you on a clean work surface. Lay 1 piece of the nori, shiny-side down, with a short side closest to you.
- Lightly moisten your fingers with the vinegared water, and scoop up about 3/4 cup (a loose mound the size of a tennis ball) of the sushi rice with your hand and spread in a thin, even layer onto the nori, leaving a 1/2-inch strip uncovered at the edge closest to you. Flip over so the rice side is on the mat to make inside-out rolls.
- Smear a dab of the wasabi crosswise across the center of the nori. Top with some of the crab, cucumber and avocado, without overstuffing the roll. Add a squirt of Sriracha, if using.
- Lift up the uncovered strip of the nori and roll into a log over the rice and fillings with your fingertips as you roll. Wrap the roll in the mat, lining up one end of the roll against the edge of the mat. Firmly tug on the rounded mat over the roll as you pull on the edge of the mat to tighten the roll. Flip the roll over to line up the other end against the edge of the mat and repeat the tugging. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice.
- Moisten the edge of a sharp knife, slice the roll in half crosswise. Line up the two halves. Wipe the knife with a damp towel and cut the 2 rolls crosswise into half again. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve the rolls with wasabi and soy sauce
- Place the rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water, massaging the rice, until the water runs clear. Drain well.
- Transfer the rice to a rice cooker, add the water and cook according to the manufacturer's directions. (Alternatively, combine the rice and water in a 2-quart heavy saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Cover, and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is shiny and tender, 20 minutes.)
- Combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and kombu in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Meanwhile, transfer the rested rice to a large wooden salad bowl and delicately spread into an even layer using a silicone spatula. Let the rice rest again for about 15 minutes undisturbed.
- Slowly drizzle most of the kombu vinegar all over the rice and gently fold together, without smashing any grains of rice. You can press any large lumps apart and fold the rice back into the vinegar. Taste the rice and, if desired, add more of the kombu vinegar. Continue to press the rice apart until no lumps remain and the grains are uniform and shiny. You can keep the sushi rice covered in a large Dutch oven lined with plastic wrap until ready to use. Makes about 6 cups.

JAPANESE BURGERS WITH WASABI KETCHUP
This burger recipe comes from the chef Tadashi Ono's 2011 book, "The Japanese Grill: From Classic Yakitori to Steak, Seafood and Vegetables," written with Harris Salat. The writer Alex Witchel raved about it in The Times that same year: "Half beef, half pork, it stayed uncannily moist despite being cooked through. Perfection."

Steps:
- Prepare the wasabi ketchup: Whisk together the ketchup, soy sauce and wasabi paste.
- Make the burgers: Prepare a grill for medium heat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs and milk and let rest 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sirloin, pork, onion, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Knead the meat until it becomes sticky and binds together; divide into 4 parts.
- Lightly dab your hands with sesame oil. Using your palms, roll each part of the meat into a ball, then pat the ball flat, shifting it from hand to hand, to form a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Make a shallow indentation across the center of the patty with the side of your hand, to keep it from puffing while it grills.
- Grill the burgers, flipping twice, until browned and cooked through, with no pink in the middle, about 10 minutes. (Alternatively, they may be broiled or sautéed.) Let rest for 2 minutes. Serve on buns, topped with some wasabi ketchup.

Tips:
- Use a thick piece of aluminum foil to wrap each burger individually. This will help to keep the burgers moist and prevent them from drying out during cooking.
- If you don't have a panini press, you can cook the burgers in a large skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to press down on the burgers with a spatula to help them cook evenly.
- The wasabi mayonnaise is a great way to add a little spice to the burgers. If you don't like wasabi, you can substitute another type of mayonnaise, such as spicy mayo or garlic mayo.
- Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
Conclusion:
These California roll burgers are a delicious and unique way to enjoy the flavors of your favorite sushi roll. They're perfect for a party or a casual weeknight meal. With their crispy rice bun, flavorful fillings, and creamy wasabi mayonnaise, these burgers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
