California Roll topped with avocado, salmon, tuna, & shrimp
Ingredients:
-1 Stick imitation crab
-2 Thin slices sashimi grade tuna
-2 Thin slices sashimi grade salmon
-1 Medium sized cooked shrimp (shelled)
-1 Cucumber
-1 Avocado
-1 Cup sushi rice
-1 Large nori sheet
Prep work:
-Cook sushi rice
-Peel cucumber and make 4 thin strips from meat without seeds
-Peel avocado and make 6 slices approximately 1/8 inch thick
-Using one stick of imitation crab, pull it into 1/4 inch strips
-Remove the tail of the cooked shrimp and cut in half
Directions:
1) Place nori on a dry surface with shiny side down and carefully smooth sushi rice over entire sheet. it is helpful if your hands are slightly damp with water to prevent the rice from sticking to you.
2) Flip the nori over (rice side down) and place imitation crab strips, 3 avocado slices, and 4 cucumber strips lengthwise on nori.
3) Carefully roll up the sushi roll with rice on the outside. Using a bamboo sushi mat covered with plastic wrap is very helpful. Roll and press firmly and evenly.
4) Place the thin slices of fish (tuna, salmon, shrimp) and avocado on top of the roll alternating colors, or choose your own toppings.
5) Again using plastic wrap, cover the finished roll and mold gently to help form the toppings to the roll.
6) Using a very sharp knife slightly wet with water quickly cut the roll in half, then in thirds to form 6 individual pieces.
7) Optional - garnish with negi and/or masago. Serve with soy sauce or ponzu sauce.
