A delightful twist on the classic California Roll, featuring fresh ingredients and a simple preparation method.
Peel the avocado, remove the pit, and slice it into thin strips.
Use a ripe avocado for the best creamy texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the imitation crab, salt, and mayonnaise until well mixed.
Chill the mixture for a few minutes to enhance the flavors.
Cover a bamboo mat with plastic wrap to prevent sticking.
Ensure the plastic wrap is tightly secured to make rolling easier.
Place a sheet of nori on the bamboo mat, shiny side down.
Align the nori sheet with the edge of the bamboo mat for even rolling.
Spread a layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, pressing gently.
Wet your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the rice.
Use a light hand to distribute the seeds evenly.
Flip the nori sheet so the rice faces down.
Be gentle to avoid tearing the nori.
Place avocado slices and crab mixture lengthwise on the nori.
Keep the filling centered for even rolling.
Roll the bamboo mat forward, pressing gently to form a cylinder.
Apply even pressure to ensure a tight roll.
Remove the bamboo mat and slice the roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.
Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for neat slices.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
Arrange the rolls neatly on a plate for an appealing presentation.
