Easy California Rolls Recipe

If you're in the mood for a scrumptious sushi experience without the fuss of traditional methods, these easy California rolls are a perfect choice. A delightful fusion of flavours, they combine fresh cucumber, creamy avocado, and sweet crab in a simple, yet satisfying roll.

Ingredients:

• Sushi rice
• Nori sheets
• Cucumber, julienned
• Avocado, sliced
• Imitation crab sticks
• Soy sauce, for dipping
• Wasabi (optional)
• Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Method:

1. Prepare the Sushi Rice: Rinse your sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook it according to the package instructions, then let it cool slightly. If desired, mix in a splash of rice vinegar for added flavour.

2. Assemble the Rolls: Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.

3. Add Fillings: Arrange a few pieces of cucumber, avocado, and crab sticks along the bottom edge of the rice.

4. Roll It Up: Using the mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to keep it tight. Once rolled, moisten the top edge of the nori to seal the roll.

5. Slice and Serve: With a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve your California rolls with soy sauce and a dab of wasabi, if you fancy a bit of heat.

These easy California rolls not only satisfy your sushi cravings but also make for an impressive homemade treat. Enjoy!
