Crab And Sushi Rice Fritters Food

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.

CALIFORNIA ROLLS (SUSHI)

Steps:

• 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.

SPICY CRAB SUSHI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Flatten the rice 1 1/2 inches thick in an 11x7 dish (any dish that is roughly this size will work).
• Shake furikake evenly over the rice.
• In a separate bowl, shred imitation crab flakes into 1/4 inch slivers.
• Add mayo, sriracha sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper to crab flakes, mix well.
• Spread crab mixture evenly over the rice and nori.
• Enjoy!

AVOCADO AND CRAB-MEAT SUSHI

Steps:

• Make the rice:
• In a large fine sieve rinse the rice under running cold water until the water runs clear with no milky residue and drain it well. In a large heavy saucepan combine the rice with 1 1/4 cups water, bring the water to a boil, and simmer the rice, covered tightly, for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove the pan from the heat, let the rice stand, covered tightly, for 10 minutes, and transfer it to a jelly-roll pan, spreading it in an even layer. Keep the rice warm, covered. In a saucepan whisk together the vinegar, the sugar, the Sherry, and the salt, simmer the mixture until the sugar is dissolved, and let it cool. Sprinkle the rice with as much of the vinegar mixture as necessary to moisten it lightly, tossing it carefully, and cover it with a dampened cloth. (Do not chill the rice.) The rice may be made 3 hours in advance and kept, covered with the dampened cloth, at room temperature.
• Peel and pit the avocado, rubbing it with the lemon juice, and cut it into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Heat the nori in a preheated 350°F. oven for 10 minutes, or until it is softened slightly, and keep it warm. Working with one sheet of nori at a time and with a long side facing you, spread about 3/4 cup of the rice in an even layer on each sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border on the long sides. Arrange some of the avocado strips horizontally across the middle of the rice and arrange some of the cucumber strips and the crab meat on top of the avocado. Dab the crab meat with the wasabi and beginning with a long side roll up the nori tightly jelly-roll fashion. Cut each roll with a sharp knife into 3/4-inch-thick slices and serve the rolls with the soy sauce, the additional wasabi, and the ginger.

CRAB AND SUSHI RICE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat oil to 375 degrees F in a deep fryer.
• Mix rice, crab boil seasoning, mayonnaise, parsley and lemon juice. Fold in crabmeat, trying to avoid breaking up lumps. Mix rice flour and bread crumbs, and season with salt and pepper. Form crab mixture into "cocktail size" balls and roll into flour/bread crumb mixture to coat. Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown and drain. Serve with cocktail sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
• Cook's Note: Sushi rice is short-grained rice tossed with a dressing of vinegar, sugar and salt. Asian markets carry a packaged mix of this dressing as well as the short-grained rice.

CRAB RICE

Steps:

• Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rice. Cover, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, then fluff with a fork.
• Meanwhile, pulse the celery, garlic, onion and bell pepper in a food processor until minced. Heat the butter and oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the butter melts. Add the minced vegetables. Saute until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add the crab meat and House Seasoning. Cook until the crab meat has browned, about 5 minutes. Add additional butter, if the vegetables become too dry and begin to brown too quickly. Stir in the rice and tomato. Cover and simmer until the rice is fluffy, 5 more minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
• Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
