Restaurant-style California Roll
- 1 Mayonnaise
- 1 Masago (capelin roe)
- 1 Nori seaweed (cut in half)
- 1 Avocado
- 1 packet Imitation crab sticks
- 1 Mayonnaise
- 1 Masago (capelin roe)
- 540 ml Uncooked white rice
- 1 tbsp Sake
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- 1 sheet Kombu seaweed (3 cm square)
- 30 ml Sushi vinegar
- 30 ml Water
- 1 pinch Salt
- Add sake and mirin to the rice when cooking, and use 1 mm less water than usual.
- Don't cook the rice using the 'sushi rice' setting, just use the regular program.
- Lay the kombu on top of the rice and switch the rice cooker on!
- Put the sushi vinegar ingredients in a small pan and bring to a simmer.
- Turn the heat off immediately.
- Add the boiled sushi vinegar and water to the freshly cooked rice, leave to cool down a bit, then cover with plastic wrap to prevent from drying out.
- Spread a piece of nori seaweed evenly with sushi rice.
- Slightly moisten your hands with water and flatten out the rice.
- Cover with plastic wrap.
- Turn it over, wrap and all, so that the nori side is facing up.
- Draw a thin line in the middle with mayonnaise.
- Top with avocado and crab sticks.
- If you put the avocado on the far side it may get mashed when you roll the sushi, so I think it's easier if you put the crab sticks on the far side and the avocado closer to you.
- Fold the plastic wrap that is sticking out on the side closer to you under the mat to make it easier to roll the sushi.
- Roll the sushi, and cut it with the wrap still on it.
- If you peel off the wrap with moistened hands, you won't get any sticky rice.
- Put the masago on the cut sushi roll pieces to finish.
- If you don't like masago, use ground white sesame seeds instead.
- How to cut an avocado Cut into the avocado lengthwise and you'll hit the pit.
- Slice all the way around the avocado.
- Twist both halves with your hands and it will end up as shown in the photo.
- Cut into the half with the pit lengthwise again, and push out the pit.
- Note: I cut each crab stick in half lengthwise.
- Adjust depending on how thick you want the crab sticks to be.
