Crab And Avocado Rice Paper Rolls Recipes

CRAB, AVOCADO AND MANGO ROLL

Steps:

• *Can be found at specialty Asian markets
• Serving suggestion: wasabi, sweet picked ginger, soy sauce
• In a medium bowl, mix together the crabmeat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and sugar.
• Place a piece of plastic wrap on the sushi mat. Using wet fingers, spread 1 1/4 cups of the rice evenly over the plastic wrap to form a rectangle slightly smaller than the sushi mat. Lay a sheet of nori over the rice. Arrange 1/4 of the crab mixture along the center of the nori leaving a 2-inch border at the top. Top the crab mixture with 1/4 of the avocado slices, 1/4 of the mango slices, and 1/4 of the red bell pepper slices. Using the sushi mat as a guide, fold the rice over the filling and roll into a cylinder. Remove the plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Sprinkle each roll with the black sesame seeds.
• To serve, using a sharp, damp knife, slice each cylinder into 6 pieces (re-wet the knife after each slice). Arrange the crab rolls on a serving platter and serve with wasabi, sweet pickled ginger and soy sauce.

• Place the rice and water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 25 minutes. Sprinkle the vinegar over the rice and mix with a fork. Transfer the cooked rice to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Allow the rice to cool completely before using.

SPICY CRAB SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Shred crabmeat using 2 forks or in a food processor.
• Mix crabmeat, mayonnaise, and sriracha sauce together in a small bowl.
• Fill a shallow bowl with hot water to a depth of 2 inches. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper in the water for a few seconds to soften; set on a wooden cutting board or a clean, moist dish towel. Layer 1/4 of the cucumber, carrot, avocado, crabmeat mixture, and green onion in the bottom third of the rice paper.
• Pull bottom of the rice paper over the filling, using your fingers to prevent it from spilling out the sides. Fold opposing edges of the rice paper to overlap the filling; roll up tightly towards the top. Place roll seam-side down on a plate. Repeat with remaining rice papers and cucumber, carrot, avocado, crabmeat mixture, and green onion.

CRAB AND AVOCADO ROLL - SUSHI

Steps:

• Mix crab meat with mayonnaise and soy sauce.
• Place nori sheet horizontally on bamboo rolling mat with the shiny side facing the mat. With wet hands, spread about ¾ cup sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a ¾-inch strip on the far edge of the nori sheet free of rice. Using your finger, spread a thin stripe of wasabi horizontally along the center of the rice. Spoon about 3 tablespoons crab mixture along the center of the rice, followed by 2 to 3 avocado slices.
• Rolling the bamboo mat away from you, carefully roll the nori over, leaving the rice-free strip of nori exposed.
• Press the roll firmly together. Lift the top of the mat and turn the roll over so that the rice free edge of the nori overlaps the rest of the roll, sealing it.
• Roll it in the mat again, pressing firmly to make sure it is sealed and shaped like a cylinder.
• Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the roll into 6 pieces to serve. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
