California Rolls

Sushi night without the raw fish. These California rolls are a little more time consuming than most of my recipes, but they aren't hard to make and are great when you have a little more time to make dinner.

Ingredients:

3-4 Dried Seaweed Sheets

3 Cups Prepared White Rice (cooled in the fridge or freezer)

1/2 Avocado

2 Ounces Immitation Crab Meat (the kind in 'sticks' is easiest)

2 Tablespoons Cream Cheese

1/2 Small Cucumber

Soy Sauce

Instructions:

1. Thinnly slice the immitation crab meat, avocado, and cucumber.

2. Lay out a seaweed sheet on a sheet of wax or parchment paper.

3. Using a spoon, carefully spread the cooled, prepared rice to cover the seaweed sheet.

4. At one of the ends of the sheet, arrange the sliced immitation crab meat, cucumber, avocado, and cream cheese in close rows and splash with a little soy sauce.

5. Begin rolling up the seaweed sheet, pressing and tucking the roll as tightly as you can.

6. Continue rolling until the end.

7. Repeat steps 2-6 with the other seaweed sheets. 

8. Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 8-10 peices.

9. Serve with soy sauce for dipping.
