Steps:
- Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in rice vinegar and salt. Allow to cool completely.
- Lay out seaweed sheets. Moisten hands with water, then spread the rice evenly on each sheet, leaving a 1/2 inch gap along one edge, lengthwise. Arrange strips of cucumber, imitation crabmeat, and cream cheese in a straight line along the side opposite of the gap. Roll the sushi from the toppings to the exposed end of the the seaweed sheet.
- Using a sharp wet knife, slice each roll into 5 or 6 pieces. Serve with minced ginger on the side.

Steps:
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the ginger and rice. Cover and simmer 20 minutes or until rice is cooked.
- Add the rice vinegar and salt to the rice, mix well.
- Lay out your seaweed sheets.
- Moisten your hands with water and divide the rice evenly between the 2 seaweed sheets, flatten the rice. Leave about a half inch of space not covered with rice at the top of the sheets. This will make the sushi roll easier to close.
- About an inch from the bottom, arrange the crab, cucumber and cream cheese in a straight line, from one side to the other (left to right).
- Gently but firmly, roll the sushi as tight as possible (from bottom to top), being careful not to rip the seaweed sheets.
- Wet a very sharp knife and cut the rolls into individual pieces of sushi.

My grand daughter and I are going to spend a day making different kinds of sushi. This variation is going to be included because it's a little different than our standard California rolls.

Tips:
- To make the perfect sushi rice, use a high-quality short-grain rice. Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch. Cook the rice according to the package directions, then let it cool slightly before adding the dressing.
- For the cream cheese filling, use a high-quality cream cheese. Soften the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to create a smooth and creamy filling.
- For the crab filling, use fresh or frozen crab meat. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using. Flake the crab meat into small pieces.
- When rolling the sushi rolls, use a bamboo sushi mat. This will help to keep the rolls tight and even. Wet the sushi mat with water before using to prevent the rice from sticking.
- To cut the sushi rolls, use a sharp knife. Wet the knife with water before cutting to prevent the rice from sticking.
