California Rolls

These were delicious, very economical and easy to make.   My niece Mikayla rolled these up like a pro, in spite of the fact she had never made California rolls before.  We watched this video from Ochikeron that perfectly demonstrated how to roll up your California rolls.  Cucumber, avacoda, nori, sushi rice and imitation crab meat combine for a delectable experience with wasabi or Sriracha mayonnaise.  

Sushi Rice

2 cups cooked sushi rice

2 Tablespoons rice vinegar

2 Tablespoons sugar

1 Tablespoons salt

We cooked the rice in our rice steamer, about 2/3 cup or 1 scoop made 2 cups of rice.  Mix the vinegar, salt and sugar in a microwavable glass bowl.  Heat about 30-45 seconds on high in the microwave, stir again and then gently fold the warm cooked rice into the hot vinegar mixture.  Allow the sushi rice to cool to room temperature before using.
