HOW TO MAKE A CALIFORNIA ROLL

Recently, I have learn how to make a California roll. California roll originated in the city of Los Angeles, which is stuffed with cucumber, surimi or crab and avocado. The first time I taste it, I think it is so delicious. So today I want to share how to make it with us and I hope everyone of you can learn how to make this delicious food.

First, we should prepare something we need in making California rolls:

1 rice recipe for sushi

4 sheets of nori seaweed

1 ripe avocado, sliced

2 sticks of surimi

½ cucumber, peeled, seeded, in strips

Toasted sesame seeds, optional

Citrus or spicy soy sauce, to accompany (optional)

Wasabi, to accompany (optional)

Pickled ginger, to accompany (optional)

Cream cheese, optional

Bamboo mat

Now, let’ s begin.

1.Cook the rice for sushi

2. Cut the surimi bars into four each, to have thinner surimi strips.

3. Cover the bamboo mat on film or transparent paper which can  keep it from sticking to the mat.

4.If you want to make 8 small rolls (of which 6 pieces come out for sushi) you have to cut the nori alga in half with the help of scissors. If you want to make 4 large rolls then you have to leave the entire nori seaweed.

5. Lay on the bamboo mat with the shiny side down, the opaque and raspy side should be looking up.

6. Wet your hands and spread the rice (to get the rice divide it with your hands in 4. or 8 servings, depending on the size you are going to make the sushis)

7. If you want it with sesame then sprinkle a little toasted sesame.

8. Turn the nori seaweed leaf with rice so the rice is in contact with the bamboo mat.

9. Add  slices of avocado, cucumber and surimi on the sushi, Do not overfill because otherwise, it will not close the roll properly.

10. Roll up helping with the mat and squeezing well so that it will not get loose, stop the filling with your fingers so that it stays in place. Let go of the rug and rewind what you lack.

11. Place on a chopping board and cover with a kitchen towel while preparing the others.

12. Dip a sharp knife in hot water and cut the sushi. In order not to crush it and to get out the filling, place the knife in the center of the sushi and cut with a movement towards us to slice the sushi in a single movement.

And then you can taste the delicious California rolls with your friends and drink a glass of juice with your silicone unbreakable glass cups, which is one of the most enjoyable thing. Do you think it is so good?
