Sushi Roll


Ingredients:


2/3 cup uncooked short-grain white rice

3 tbsp rice vinegar

3 tbsp white sugar

1 1/2 tsp salt

4 sheets nori seaweed sheets

1/2 cucumber , peeled, cut into small strips

2 tbsp pickled ginger (optional)

1 avocado

1/2 pound imitation crabmeat , flaked



Directions:



1) In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/3 cups water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar and salt. Blend the mixture into the rice.



2) Preheat oven to 150 degrees C. On a medium baking sheet, heat nori in the preheated oven to 1 or 2 minutes, until warm.



3) Center one sheet nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands. Using your hands, spread a thin layer of rice on the sheet of nori, and press into a thin layer. Arrange 1/4 of the cucumber, avocado, and imitation crabmeat in a line down the center of the rice. Lift the end of the mat, and gently roll it over the ingredients, pressing gently. Roll it forward to make a complete roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

4) Cut each roll into 4-6 slices using a wet, sharp knife.


*Notes: Sushi can be filled with any ingredients you choose. Try smoked salmon instead of imitation crabmeat. Serve with teriyaki sauce and wasabi.*
