Fergie's California Rolls/Mexi Rolls

My kids LOVE Sushi.  But the truth is I cannot afford to feed my 3 kids and my husband sushi all the time (have you guys met my husband?) My brother in law and his wife live in Japan and a few years ago sent me some sushi making tools, which I figured out are very easy to find in the states as well.  I hope this shows you how easy it is. It does take some practice so don't get frustrated!

1 1/2 Cups Rice, I use a combination of Jasmine and Calrose

3 Cups Water

 Cook in Rice Maker

4 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar 

Take the rice out of the rice cooker and put in large bowl...

This is the Rice Vinegar I LOVE!!!  It is delicious... and you can find it at Trader Joes... 

Add the 4 Tablespoons of vinegar and fluff with a fork... 

Cover with plastic wrap and let cool... 

2 Perisan Cucumbers

1-2 Carrots Thinly Julianne d 

1 1/2 Cups Immitation Crab

3 Tablespoons Mayo

1-3 Teaspoons Asian Hot Sauce

4 Nori Sheets 

I love Persian Cucumbers... Crispy, Sweet... YUM!!!

I scoop out the middle... 

Slice into long strips... 

Carrots... 

Imitation Crab... 

I put the crab, mayo and hot sauce and pulse in the food processor ... 

This is the asian hot sauce I but... My fav!

This is the consistency I like... 

These are my favorite Nori Sheets.... You can find them at Asian Markets, Sprouts Natural Market... 

This is a Bamboo Sushi roller... which I wrap with plastic wrap... 

There are many ways to roll sushi... here are a few different ways... 

  

If you want to try something a little different... try using a tortilla... I call it mexican sushi!

You will need a very very sharp serrated knife.... I keep a bowl of warm water and keep it clean...
