Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cucumber
3 ½ ounces crab sticks, finely chopped
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 sheets nori (dry seaweed)
2 ½ cups cooked sushi rice
2 ½ tablespoons sesame seeds
1 avocado, sliced
4 teaspoons tobiko (flying fish roe)

Steps:

  • Slice the ends off of the cucumber, then cut into quarters lengthwise. Thinly slice each quarter lengthwise to make spears.
  • Stir chopped crab sticks and mayonnaise together in a small bowl.
  • Lay 1 sheet of nori on a bamboo mat. Pat a thin, even layer of rice over the nori with wet hands, leaving a 1/3-inch edge at the bottom. Sprinkle rice with sesame seeds. Carefully flip over.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in a line across the sheet about 1/3 of the way from the top. Layer with 1 to 2 cucumber spears and 1 to 3 slices of avocado.
  • Using the bamboo mat, roll the sheet tightly into a cylinder, starting at the top edge. Moisten the uncovered edge with water and finish rolling once you reached the bottom. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Slice each roll into 3/4-inch pieces. Garnish each piece with 1/8 teaspoon tobiko.

The rolls were a bit difficult to roll at first, but I got the hang of it after a few tries.

The California roll was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar in the sauce next time.

The recipe was easy to follow. I made a few substitutions (used brown rice instead of white rice) and the rolls still turned out great.
