Californiarice Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients and place in a greased 2 quart shallow casserole.
• Bake 25 minutes at 325 degrees or microwave until heated through.
• Can be assembled the day before (tastes even better).
• Or can be frozen before baking.
• Defrost before baking.

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:

• Slice the ends off of the cucumber, then cut into quarters lengthwise. Thinly slice each quarter lengthwise to make spears.
• Stir chopped crab sticks and mayonnaise together in a small bowl.
• Lay 1 sheet of nori on a bamboo mat. Pat a thin, even layer of rice over the nori with wet hands, leaving a 1/3-inch edge at the bottom. Sprinkle rice with sesame seeds. Carefully flip over.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in a line across the sheet about 1/3 of the way from the top. Layer with 1 to 2 cucumber spears and 1 to 3 slices of avocado.
• Using the bamboo mat, roll the sheet tightly into a cylinder, starting at the top edge. Moisten the uncovered edge with water and finish rolling once you reached the bottom. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Slice each roll into 3/4-inch pieces. Garnish each piece with 1/8 teaspoon tobiko.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease bottom of 9" x 13" casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
• Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Saute onions in butter until very soft, stirring constantly. Add garlic during last two minutes of cooking.

• Layer half the rice mixture in bottom of casserole dish and top with half of shredded cheese. Repeat with remainder of rice mixture; top with remainder of cheese. (If making ahead of time, cover with plastic wrap after everything is assembled and refrigerate up to a day. Remember to let your dish come to room temperature before you place it in the oven.).
• Bake for 30 - 40 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.

Steps:

Add the cauliflower rice, cumin, paprika, salt and black beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the salsa and cook for 1 more minute. Stir in the cilantro and serve.
