Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 8 ounces imitation crab meat, shredded
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Soy sauce (for serving)
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and ensures a better texture.
- In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Stir this mixture into the cooked rice and let it cool to room temperature.
- On a bamboo sushi mat, place a sheet of nori shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top unspread.
- Arrange a few slices of avocado, cucumber, and a handful of shredded crab in a line along the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori.
- Carefully lift the sushi mat and roll the nori away from you, tucking the filling inside as you go. Use the mat to shape the roll into a tight cylinder.
- Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the sushi into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to keep the pieces clean.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and serves with soy sauce for dipping!
Now you’re all set to enjoy these tasty Inside-Out California Rolls. They make for a fantastic appetizer or a delightful main dish. Happy rolling!
