Restaurant-style California Roll instructions
- 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..
