California Roll Bowl Recipes

Steps:

• Toss rice with vinegar and divide between 4 serving bowls. Top with cucumber, avocado and Crab Delights® and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with Sriracha mayonnaise.
• (Optional) Sprinkle with nori flake, add pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce on the side for additional flavor.

Steps:

• In a small pot, season the water with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the rinsed rice and return to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to simmer, and cook for 20 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
• In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, salt, and rice vinegar. Microwave for 2 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves.
• Transfer the cooked rice to a medium bowl and pour the vinegar mixture over it, then stir well using a wooden spoon.
• Heat the canola oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the panko and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.
• In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and Sriracha until smooth.
• To assemble the bowls, divide the seasoned rice between 2 serving bowls. Top with the crab, crispy panko, cucumber, radish, nori, scallions, sesame seeds, pickled ginger, and avocado. Drizzle the Sriracha mayonnaise over the top.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise, rice vinegar, mustard, and Sriracha in a bowl with a whisk. Taste and adjust as needed. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Combine chopped imitation crab, green onions, wasabi paste, and 2 tablespoons of our prepared mayo dressing base in another bowl. Refrigerate until needed.
• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil; reserve a bowl of ice water nearby to add cooked noodles to after boiling. Stir noodles into the boiling water and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to cold water to stop the cooking process.
• Combine 2 tablespoons prepared mayo dressing base, seasoned rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and wasabi paste for noodle dressing in a bowl with a whisk. Drain noodles and toss in sauce until evenly coated.
• Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 to 2 hours, tossing occasionally.
• Unwrap noodles and transfer to a serving bowl. Top with avocado, cucumber, and crab mixture; drizzle with more mayo sauce and garnish with furikake.

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

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sriracha, soy, sesame oil and 2 teaspoons of the rice vinegar until well combined. Fold in the imitation crab, then set aside.
• Divide the rice between two serving bowls, adding 1 teaspoon rice vinegar to each. Stir to mix the vinegar into the rice.
• Place the dressed imitation crab into the bowls, followed by the cucumber, carrot, seaweed snacks, onions and pickled ginger. Garnish with the sesame seeds and scallions, then serve.
