CALIFORNIA SUSHI ROLL



California Sushi Roll image

Basic instructions on how to make sushi in your very own home! This recipe can be substituted to include meat, and any other vegetable you can imagine!

Provided by Lisa Lou

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup jasmine rice
1 ½ cups water
½ cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons salt
3 sheets nori (dry seaweed)
1 cucumber, sliced lengthwise
2 sticks imitation crab, sliced lengthwise

Steps:

  • Rinse rice until water runs clear. Combine rice and 1 1/2 cups water in a saucepan and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until water is completely absorbed and rice is soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Use a wooden spoon to transfer cooked rice to a non-metal bowl and set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, combine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer 1 minute more. Combine vinegar mixture with the cooling rice a few tablespoons at a time until rice is coated; you may not need all of the vinegar mixture. Set aside to finish cooling completely, about 15 minutes.
  • Place a sheet of nori on a sushi mat with the rough side facing up. Place a small bowl of water nearby. Use wet hands to evenly spread a handful of rice onto the nori. Arrange cucumber and crab across the nori, about 1/2 inch from the edge closest to you. Roll the wrap starting at the close edge and rolling away from yourself. Press and roll again to seal. Repeat with remaining nori, rice, cucumber, and crab.
  • Dip a sharp knife into water and slice each roll into 8 pieces, rinsing the knife after each cut to prevent sticking.

CALIFORNIA ROLL

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 medium avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces
4 sheets nori
1/2 batch sushi rice, recipe follows
1/3 cup sesame seeds, toasted
1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into matchstick-size pieces
4 crabsticks, torn into pieces
Pickled ginger, for serving
Wasabi, for serving
Soy sauce, for serving
2 cups sushi or short grain rice
2 cups water, plus extra for rinsing rice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Squeeze the lemon juice over the avocado to prevent browning.
  • Cover a bamboo rolling mat with plastic wrap. Cut nori sheets in half crosswise. Lay 1 sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the plastic covered mat. Wet your fingers with water and spread about 1/2 cup of the rice evenly onto the nori. Sprinkle the rice with sesame seeds. Turn the sheet of nori over so that the rice side is down. Place 1/8 of the cucumber, avocado and crab sticks in the center of the sheet. Grab the edge of the mat closest to you, keeping the fillings in place with your fingers, and roll it into a tight cylinder, using the mat to shape the cylinder. Pull away the mat and set aside. Cover with a damp cloth. Repeat until all of the rice has been used. Cut each roll into 6 pieces. Serve with pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauce.
  • Place the rice into a mixing bowl and cover with cool water. Swirl the rice in the water, pour off and repeat 2 to 3 times or until the water is clear.
  • Place the rice and 2 cups of water into a medium saucepan and place over high heat. Bring to a boil, uncovered. Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cover. Cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • Combine the rice vinegar, sugar and salt in a small bowl and heat in the microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds. Transfer the rice into a large wooden or glass mixing bowl and add the vinegar mixture. Fold thoroughly to combine and coat each grain of rice with the mixture. Allow to cool to room temperature before using to make sushi or sashimi.
  • Yield: 4 cups

CALIFORNIA ROLL SUSHI



California Roll Sushi image

California Roll - it's really good. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi.

Provided by Erin

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup uncooked short-grain white rice
1 cup water
¼ cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ cup imitation crabmeat, finely chopped
¼ cup mayonnaise
8 sheets nori (dry seaweed)
2 ½ tablespoons sesame seeds
1 cucumber, cut into thin spears
2 avocados - pitted, peeled, and sliced the long way

Steps:

  • Wash the rice in several changes of water until the rinse water is no longer cloudy, drain well, and place in a covered pan or rice cooker with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cover the pan. Allow the rice to simmer until the top looks dry, about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, and let stand for 10 minutes to absorb the rest of the water.
  • Mix the rice vinegar and sugar in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved, and stir the mixture into the cooked rice until well combined. Allow the rice to cool, and set aside.
  • Mix the imitation crabmeat with mayonnaise in a bowl, and set aside. To roll the sushi, cover a bamboo rolling mat with plastic wrap. Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the plastic wrap. With wet fingers, firmly pat a thin, even layer of prepared rice over the nori, leaving 1/4 inch uncovered at the bottom edge of the sheet. Sprinkle the rice with about 1/2 teaspoon of sesame seeds, and gently press them into the rice. Carefully flip the nori sheet over so the seaweed side is up.
  • Place 2 or 3 long cucumber spears, 2 or 3 slices of avocado, and about 1 tablespoon of imitation crab mixture in a line across the nori sheet, about 1/4 from the uncovered edge. Pick up the edge of the bamboo rolling sheet, fold the bottom edge of the sheet up, enclosing the filling, and tightly roll the sushi into a cylinder about 1 1/2 inch in diameter. Once the sushi is rolled, wrap it in the mat and gently squeeze to compact it tightly.
  • Cut each roll into 1 inch pieces with a very sharp knife dipped in water.

VEGETARIAN CALIFORNIA ROLLS (SUSHI)



Vegetarian California Rolls (Sushi) image

I found that these are one of the few foreign foods even French people will love ; ) They are really easy to make - trust me I'm a lazy cook! - and deceptively impressive when done!! Great for brown bagging too!

Provided by milkamaiden

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 40-50 pieces, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (10 sheet) package nori (roasted seaweed)
4 cups sushi rice
japanese rice wine vinegar
4 -6 tablespoons sugar
1 cucumber, cut into thin strips lengthwise
2 -3 carrots, cut into thin strips lengthwise steamed
1 -2 avocado, sliced thinly lengthwise
1 bunch green onion, cut into thin strips lengthwise
prepared wasabi paste (use sparingly it's really hot!)
prepared plum sauce
prepared pickled ginger
soy sauce

Steps:

  • Prepare the sushi rice according to package instructions (I use a rice cooker - fool proof).
  • Prepare your veggies while the rice is cooking.
  • Once the rice is done put it in a bowl and season to taste with rice vinegar and sugar - the mixture should be pleasantly sweet and sour. Spread up the edges of the bowl to cool for a couple of minutes.
  • Lay down a nori sheet on a rolling mat. Using a spoon dipped in water spread the rice (min. 1/2 in / 1.5 cm thick) on the nori leaving a strip of about 2 in / 5cm at the far side of the sheet facing away from you.
  • Use a teaspoon to spread some plum sauce down the middle of the rice. Top with 1-2 slices of cucumber, carrots, avocado and green onion each depending on size of the veggies you cut (they need to spread all along the middle of the rice from end to end).
  • Using your mat roll up the nori pressing down with your hands as you roll to keep the roll firm.
  • Set the rolls on a plate with the bare strip of nori facing down. The moisture from the rice will seal the rolls. Let sit to firm up.
  • Using a sharp knife cut the ends of the rolls and eat immediately ; )
  • Cut the rest of the rolls into neat bite sized pieces and serve with the wasabi and pickled ginger and soy sauce for dipping - you may want to let your guests decide on how much wasabi to use, especially if they are French : ).
