Ingredients List

  1. 4 nori sheets
  2. 1 cup cooked sushi rice (seasoned with rice vinegar)
  3. 100g cooked crab meat (or imitation crab sticks, shredded)
  4. 1 ripe avocado (sliced)
  5. 1 small cucumber (cut into thin matchsticks)
  6. 2–3 tbsp tobiko (flying fish roe)
  7. 1 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise (optional, for mixing with crab)
  8. Soy sauce, for dipping
  9. Pickled ginger & wasabi, to serve

Steps

  1. Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of plastic wrap over it. Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on top of the plastic wrap.
  2. Spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 2cm edge at the top uncovered. Sprinkle tobiko over the rice for added flavour and texture.
  3. Flip the nori and rice sheet over so the rice faces down onto the plastic wrap. Lay slices of avocado, julienned cucumber, and crab meat across the centre of the nori.
  4. Carefully roll the sushi mat from the edge closest to you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the roll by pressing along the uncovered nori edge.
  5. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into even pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.
  6. Arrange the Tobiko California Roll pieces on a serving plate. Garnish with additional tobiko, if desired. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi paste.
