CALIFORNIA ROLL WRAPS
I love the California rolls I get at sushi restaurants and wanted to capture those flavors in a sandwich I could take to work. I started with the standard ingredients, added a few others and came up with a hit. -Mary Pax-Shipley, Bend, Oregon

Steps:
- For the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, tamari, chili paste, ginger and 1 tablespoon water. Set aside to let the flavors marry for about 10 minutes.
- For the rolls: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss the rice noodles with the sesame oil.
- Fill a pie pan with warm tap water. Working with one wrapper at a time, soak the rice paper in the warm water for about 30 seconds or until pliable. Lay a few pieces of cilantro and basil across the center of the wrapper. Top the herbs with some crab, followed by some of the red pepper and cucumber. Top with approximately 1/3 cup of the dressed rice noodles. Roll the edge closest to you over the filling, pulling tightly. Fold in the ends and continue to roll to seal. Store on a tray with a damp paper towel. Continue with the remaining wrappers and filling. Serve with the dipping sauce.

CRAB SALAD TORTILLA WRAPS * SUBWAY COPYCAT
The kids told me this was definitely a "keeper" of a recipe. The hard-boiled egg really adds some depth to the flavor. Add your own flavorites to accommodate your family's tastebuds.

TUNA AND CRAB WRAPS/CRAB AND AVOCADO WRAPS
I have never really thought of myself as a person who could wrap, fold or fiddle about with food or ever felt that way inclined. But you know, when you get into it, it's really quite OK - actually, more than OK. These wraps are curiously relaxing to assemble and everyone is always bowled over by them. They're a very good way of injecting a little zing into the proceedings without having to slave for hours over a hot stove. I have added the option of the crab wraps, as I do understand not everyone is happy working with or even eating raw tuna. But please do try those ones, too: They are actually a very unspooky experience. Just be sure to ask a fishmonger for sashimi-grade tuna and buy it the day you want to eat it. For both the recipes below I've given the basic unit of wrap; that's to say amounts are sufficient to fill one tortilla, which in turn will yield three pieces once rolled and cut.

Steps:
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, wasabi and sesame oil in a small bowl, and paint the tortilla wrap with this mixture on 1 side.
- Arrange a row of carrots horizontally 3/4-inch to 1 1/4-inch up from the bottom of the wrap you have in front of you. Then arrange the cucumber on top of the carrot in the same way, or as best as you can as it may slip down a little. Finally, top with the slices of tuna also lying them horizontally as this makes it easy to wrap up. Roll up the wrap as tightly as you can, starting from the bottom. You want to end up with a fat Cuban cigar.
- Cut across the rolled wrap diagonally to make 3 pieces.
- Put the crabmeat into a bowl and add the mayonnaise, wasabi paste and oil and stir to mix. Lay the wrap in front of you and put the crabmeat in a line horizontally 2cm/about an inch up from the bottom of the wrap. Take the avocado half still with skin and scoop out the flesh in half teaspoonful curls, laying these on top of the line of crabmeat. Sprinkle over the lettuce in a neat line also, and then spritz with the lemon juice. Roll up tightly from the bottom, to form a fat cigar and then slice on an angle into 3 pieces.
- The 2 recipes combined make 6 pieces

Tips:
- For the freshest crab, look for live crabs or crabs that have been recently cooked and chilled. Avoid crabs that have been frozen for more than a few months.
- If you are using live crabs, steam them until they are cooked through. To do this, place the crabs in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover the pot and steam the crabs for 10-12 minutes, or until they are bright red and opaque throughout.
- Once the crabs are cooked, remove them from the steamer basket and let them cool slightly. Then, remove the meat from the crab shells. Be careful not to break the crab meat into small pieces.
- To make the crab wraps, spread some cream cheese on a tortilla. Then, top with crab meat, avocado, cucumber, and red onion. Drizzle with sriracha sauce and wrap the tortilla tightly.
- Serve the crab wraps immediately, or wrap them in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for later.
Conclusion:
Crab wraps are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or lunch that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover crab meat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy.
