SUSHI Made EASY

In this episode we dive into making sushi rolls easy, starting with a california roll.
Ingredients
2 cups sushi rice (short grain white rice)
water (use package directions on amount)
1/2 lb imitation crab meat
1/4 cup sushi seasoning (alternatively 5 tbs rice vinegar, 5tbs white sugar, 3 tbs kosher salt)
1 small cucumber (I used persian)
1 small to medium avocado
1/4 cup mayo (I used Kewpie Japanese mayo)
Sriracha (amount to taste)
sheets of nori
furikake (alternatively use white & black sesame seeds & whatever else you want to garnish with)
bamboo sushi mat
plastic wrap
soy sauce & wasabi for dipping once ready to eat
Recipe:
Rinse rice until water runs clear
Cook rice (according to package directions)
Once rice is cooked, transfer to large dish or bowl and slowly add in sushi seasoning (the vinegar mixture) as you fold the rice (this minimizes mushing of rice while incorporating seasoning)
Place kitchen towel over rice to let it cool
Chop imitation crab, and mix in mayo & sriracha (optional)
Slice cucumber & avocado into thin slices
Once rice is cooled, place plastic wrap over bamboo mat
lay 1/2 sheet of nori on mat, then lay a smooth layer of rice on top evenly
Flip Nori & rice over on mat so that nori side is facing up
lay a line of cucumber, then a line of avocado, and a line of the filling across the bottom edge
Roll and press down until roll is formed, then remove mat & plastic
Slice roll into pieces and you are ready to enjoy your homemade sushi roll!
