Cream Cheese And Crab Sushi Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in rice vinegar and salt. Allow to cool completely.
• Lay out seaweed sheets. Moisten hands with water, then spread the rice evenly on each sheet, leaving a 1/2 inch gap along one edge, lengthwise. Arrange strips of cucumber, imitation crabmeat, and cream cheese in a straight line along the side opposite of the gap. Roll the sushi from the toppings to the exposed end of the the seaweed sheet.
• Using a sharp wet knife, slice each roll into 5 or 6 pieces. Serve with minced ginger on the side.

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the ginger and rice. Cover and simmer 20 minutes or until rice is cooked.
• Add the rice vinegar and salt to the rice, mix well.
• Lay out your seaweed sheets.
• Moisten your hands with water and divide the rice evenly between the 2 seaweed sheets, flatten the rice. Leave about a half inch of space not covered with rice at the top of the sheets. This will make the sushi roll easier to close.
• About an inch from the bottom, arrange the crab, cucumber and cream cheese in a straight line, from one side to the other (left to right).
• Gently but firmly, roll the sushi as tight as possible (from bottom to top), being careful not to rip the seaweed sheets.
• Wet a very sharp knife and cut the rolls into individual pieces of sushi.

Steps:

• Combine rice and water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and cook in the microwave for 8 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before removing bowl from the microwave. Uncover rice and stir in vinegar using a wooden spoon; rice will become sticky.
• Slice avocado into long sticks. Cut cream cheese into long sticks. Open crab legs and separate them. Cut 5 crab legs in half and pair each with a full leg to have 10 sets.
• Lay 1 nori sheet on a dry cutting board. Use wet hands to scoop a handful of cooled rice onto 1/2 the sheet closest to you. Place cream cheese, avocado, and crab on the center of the rice, extending all the way across the nori. roll nori up, starting at the rice end and ending on the plain end; use wet hands to seal, if necessary. Place roll seam-side down on a separate cutting board. Repeat with remaining nori, rice, and fillings.
• Use a large knife to cut 1 roll in half; line up halves, and cut each into 3 pieces. Repeat with remaining rolls for a total of 60 pieces. Wipe the knife on a towel in between slices. Serve with wasabi and ginger.

Steps:

• Take two cups of rice and let it soak in water for about 20 minutes. (That will help it get more sticky!)
• Cook rice in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. A rice cooker is the best way to get perfect sticky-firm rice, but if you don't have one, you can use a saucepan.
• Let the rice cool. (I spread it out on plates to let it cook faster.)
• While the rice is cooking, shred your imitation crab and mix it with cream cheese.
• Cover a bamboo sushi mat with plastic wrap. Place a seaweed sheet rough-side up on the mat.
• Moisten your hands and scoop a handful of rice onto the seaweed. Press the rice to spread it evenly up to the edges, moistening your fingers as you go.
• Press the rice to spread it evenly up to the edges of the nori, moistening your fingers as you go.
• Using both hands, carefully flip the seaweed over and put the rice on the bottom.
• Scoop some cream cheese mixture and avocado onto the sushi roll.
• Roll the sushi away from you with your hands, tucking the insides as you go. Roll a little, then unroll and pull plastic away so it won't roll up into the sushi. Then roll again. Repeat that process until it is all rolled up!
• This makes 2 sushi rolls and feeds about 4 people.
• Cut the sushi into 6 pieces.

Steps:

• 1. Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

• 3. Lay out seaweed sheets. Moisten hands with water, then spread the rice evenly on each sheet, leaving a 1/2 inch gap along one edge, lengthwise. Arrange strips of cucumber, imitation crabmeat, and cream cheese in a straight line along the side opposite of the gap. Roll the sushi from the toppings to the exposed end of the the seaweed sheet.
• 4. Using a sharp wet knife, slice each roll into 5 or 6 pieces.
• 5. Serve with minced ginger on the side.
