Ingredients
The secret to a bomb California Roll lies in the ingredients. Here’s what you need to get started:
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 ½ cups water
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 sheets of nori (seaweed)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 cup imitation crab meat
- Soy sauce, for serving
Instructions
Now that you’ve got your ingredients, let’s get it poppin’ with some easy steps to make these delightful rolls:
- Start by rinsing the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This gets rid of excess starch.
- Combine the rinsed rice and 2 ½ cups of water in a rice cooker, or use a pot on the stove. Cook according to your rice cooker’s instructions or bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for about 20 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, heat rice vinegar, sugar, and salt on low until everything is dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently mix in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool.
- Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Place a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down.
- With wet fingers, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a bit of space at the top edge.
- Arrange slices of avocado, cucumber, and imitation crab in a line across the rice.
- Using the mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, tucking it in as you go. Roll it tightly and moisten the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal.
- Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife. Serve with soy sauce on the side, and enjoy!
And there you have it, family! Your very own California Roll that’s sure to impress. Gather around the table and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Happy rolling!
