How To Make Homemade Sushi Crab Sushi Recipes

CALIFORNIA ROLLS (SUSHI)

Steps:

• 1. Make the rice - (Mix 4-tbsp rice vinegar, salt, sugar and water) - Mix vinegar water mixture into the rice and mix them well. - This is done to prevent the rice from sticking to your fingers and also to add flavor to the rice)
• 2. Cover the bamboo mat in plastic wrap. Cut a piece of Nori (seaweed/algae) in two.. Cut up some avacado, cucumber and cream cheese.
• 3. Place the ½ nori sheet at the end (toward you) of the mat. Spread a small handfull of sushi rice on the nori sheet, leaving a ¼ of an inch on either side.. Shake on some furikake or sesame seeds. Flip the whole thing over (yes it's sticky enough that it's possible)
• 4. Place one slice avacado, cucumber and crab meat and mayonaise or cream cheese (thin slice) along the middle of the roll. Roll gently with even pressure. Cut roll in half. Align the 2 halves and cut twice into 6 even pieces.
• 5. Arrange the sushi on a platter and serve. FOR DIPPING SAUCE: Mix in a small bowl, 3-tbsp Soy sauce, 2-tbsp lemon juice and wasabi.

SUSHI CRAB BOWLS

Steps:

• For the dressing: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl or jar with a tight-fitting lid; whisk or shake until the dressing is evenly combined and emulsified. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use, up to 1 week.
• For the sesame mayonnaise: Whisk to combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use, up to 1 week.
• For the crab bowl: Combine the crab, scallions and sesame mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together, so as not to break up the crab too much, until evenly combined. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve or make this the day before and refrigerate overnight.
• When ready to serve, place 1 1/2 cups of the cooked rice in each serving bowl. Divide the carrots, cucumbers and avocado evenly among the 4 bowls. Drizzle the honey orange ginger dressing over the vegetables, to taste. Next, add a scoop of the crab mixture to the center of each bowl. Garnish with the sesame seeds, more sliced scallions, the seaweed snack sheets and togarashi or furikake.

CREAM CHEESE AND CRAB SUSHI ROLLS

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.

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE SUSHI (CRAB SUSHI)

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.
