California Wrap and Roll
- 1 cup white rice (not converted or 5 minute)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 scallions, both white and green parts, trimmed and chopped
- 1 1/4 teaspoons drained bottled horseradish
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 small ripe avocado, preferably Hass, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 2 lavash rectangles, cut in half
- 6 ounces sea legs ( surimi) or crabmeat, picked over for cartilage
- 14 to 16 thin slices of pickled ginger
- Boil 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan.
- Add the rice and salt and return to a boil, stirring once or twice.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, stirring twice to promote stickiness, until all the moisture is absorbed, about 18 minutes.
- Allow to cool, uncovered, for about 15 minutes, or remove to a plate to speed cooling.
- Combine the vinegar, scallions, horseradish, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the lime juice, and the soy sauce in a small bowl.
- Stir into the rice.
- Toss the avocado and remaining 1/2 teaspoon lime juice together in a separate small bowl.
- To assemble: With a long end of a lavash half facing you, lay a quarter of the rice mixture evenly over the lavash, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Distribute a quarter of the crab, avocado, and ginger slices evenly over the rice and roll away from you, as tightly as possible.
- Complete the wraps with the remaining ingredients.
- Or, if you prefer, prepare all at once assembly-line style.
- Slice in half on the bias if serving for lunch.
- For appetizers, cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces and serve with the spirals facing up.
