How To Make Homemade Sushi Crab Sushi Recipes

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.

SPICY CRAB ROLL RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse the rice and add to the rice cooker. Then add water and cook according to the instructions.
• Once cooked, transfer to a large bowl and let it cool. When it's still very warm, mix in the sushi vinegar (or the mixture of rice vinegar, sugar and salt).
• In a clear bowl, mix together Sriracha sauce and mayonnaise. Taste and add more Sriracha if you prefer a spicier flavor.
• Shred the imitation crab meat using your hands or two forks.
• Add Sriracha mayo and mix well.
• Cut the nori sheet into two halves with kitchen scissors.
• Place half of a nori sheet on top of the bamboo mat shiny side facing down.
• Spread seasoned sushi rice (about 3/4 cup) over nori evenly. Press the rice gently with your hands. (Tips: You can dip your hands in Tezu water to prevent the rice from sticking to your hands).
• Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the rice.
• Flip the sheet and let the rice side facing down.
• Add the spicy Kani crab salad to the middle of the nori sheet.
• Place the thumbs underneath the bamboo mat and lift the edge up and over the filling.
• Roll the bamboo mat away from you and press the rice and filling together. Keep rolling until the ends meet.
• More the roll to a cutting board and cut it into 8 pieces.
• Drizzle more spicy mayo sauce on top of the roll for some extra heat.

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.

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.
