Food and Eat: Simple California Rolls

I wanted some sushi so I made some simple California rolls. I used Kirby cucumbers so for each roll I putted two slices of cucumbers to make it long enough for the roll. I used imitation crabsticks but you can also use imitation crabmeat. Imitation crabsticks can be easily found at Asian supermarkets. They are easy to use and cheaper than imitation crabmeat sold in American supermarkets or at least where I live. Below is the detailed recipe. I had my sushi with pickled ginger.

Ingredients:

6 Nori Seaweed Sheets
1 ½ cps of cooked sushi rice
roasted sesame seeds
1 cucumber peeled, sliced into long pieces
1 medium avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced into ¼ inches pieces
3 imitation crabsticks, sliced in half
sushi vinegar*

Instructions:

Cover the rolling mat with a sheet of saran wrap. Place a sheet of seaweed sheet onto the saran wrap. Add some vinegar to the sushi rice for favor and also to prevent the rice from sticking. Thinly spread rice over the seaweed. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice. Place the crabstick, cucumber, and avocado about an inch away from the edge. Roll the seaweed with its fillings. Use the mat to tighten the roll. Cut the ends. Then cut the roll into six pieces. Serve with pickled ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi if desired.
