California Roll Sushi Bowls Recipes

Steps:

• Bring water and rice to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Let cool, about 15 minutes.
• Stir rice wine vinegar, pickled ginger juice, mayonnaise, soy sauce, sugar, wasabi powder, and sesame oil together in a bowl. Pour over cooled rice; mix to coat and break up clumps.
• Dice pickled ginger. Fold ginger, crabmeat, avocado, cucumber, and nori gently into rice. Chill until serving.

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:

• 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 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.

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 : ).

Steps:

• Cook rice with 1-1/2 cups of water (and a splash of rice vinegar or lemon juice, if you choose) for 20 minutes or until soft and sticky. Cool the cooked rice in the refrigerator until room temperature.
• Meanwhile, shell the crab legs and tear the crabmeat into small pieces. Dice the carrot and cucumber into small pieces.
• Press rice into two bowls. Pressed rice should have a dip in the middle.
• Add crab, avocado, carrot and cucumber into the dip in the rice.
• Drizzle with soy sauce. Top with ginger and sesame seeds.

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.
