- 540 ml Rice
- 7 tbsp Sushi vinegar
- 3 1/2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 Toasted white sesame seeds
- 1 Mayonnaise
- 1 Avocado
- 1 Cucumber
- 8 stick Imitation crab sticks
- 1 Smoked salmon
- 1 Cream cheese
- 2 sheets Toasted nori seaweed
- To make sushi rice, combine freshly cooked rice with the ingredients.
- Cut the nori seaweed sheet into fourths.
- Cut the avocado and cucumber lengthwise into eighths and prepare the other filings.
- Put a piece of plastic wrap over a sushi mat and align the bottom ends.
- Spread out the sesame seeds 15cm-wide along the bottom end and lay the rice on top.
- Take a piece of nori seaweed that's been cut into fourths and place it slightly above the center of the rice.
- Smear mayonnaise in a line under the nori seaweed.
- Lay down the avocado, cucumber and crab sticks, leaving a strip of rice along the bottom end.
- Pressing down the cucumber sticks in the center, lift the bottom end of the sushi rolling mat and roll towards the other end.
- Make sure to keep the edge of the plastic wrap out of the roll.
- Squeeze the roll through the sushi rolling mat.
- If rice falls out from the end of the roll, tuck it in using your fingers while pressing down on the roll through the sushi rolling mat.
- Remove the sushi rolling mat.
- Repeat the process and make 3 more rolls.
- The rolls can be sliced more neatly if you set them aside for a while before slicing.
- Repeat the same process and make 4 smoked salmon and cream cheese rolls.
- Detach the end of the plastic wrap from the roll so it's easier to remove it later.
- With the plastic wrap on, slice the roll into 8 pieces.
- Remove the plastic wrap.
- Add a few more toppings to these basic California rolls to make rainbow rolls!
