Cream Cheese And Crab Sushi Rolls 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.

CREAM CHEESE AND CRAB SUSHI ROLLS

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the ginger and rice. Cover and simmer 20 minutes or until rice is cooked.
• Add the rice vinegar and salt to the rice, mix well.
• Lay out your seaweed sheets.
• Moisten your hands with water and divide the rice evenly between the 2 seaweed sheets, flatten the rice. Leave about a half inch of space not covered with rice at the top of the sheets. This will make the sushi roll easier to close.
• About an inch from the bottom, arrange the crab, cucumber and cream cheese in a straight line, from one side to the other (left to right).
• Gently but firmly, roll the sushi as tight as possible (from bottom to top), being careful not to rip the seaweed sheets.
• Wet a very sharp knife and cut the rolls into individual pieces of sushi.

CRAB AND AVOCADO ROLL - SUSHI

Steps:

• Mix crab meat with mayonnaise and soy sauce.
• Place nori sheet horizontally on bamboo rolling mat with the shiny side facing the mat. With wet hands, spread about ¾ cup sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a ¾-inch strip on the far edge of the nori sheet free of rice. Using your finger, spread a thin stripe of wasabi horizontally along the center of the rice. Spoon about 3 tablespoons crab mixture along the center of the rice, followed by 2 to 3 avocado slices.
• Rolling the bamboo mat away from you, carefully roll the nori over, leaving the rice-free strip of nori exposed.
• Press the roll firmly together. Lift the top of the mat and turn the roll over so that the rice free edge of the nori overlaps the rest of the roll, sealing it.
• Roll it in the mat again, pressing firmly to make sure it is sealed and shaped like a cylinder.
• Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the roll into 6 pieces to serve. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

AVOCADO ROLLS WITH CREAM CHEESE

Steps:

• Half and remove the skin of the Avocado. Cube the Avocado and Cream Cheese into 1/2-inch to 1-inch squares (it doesn't have to be perfect). Divide all ingredients equally onto the 3 Egg Roll Wrappers.
• Roll them up and deep fry until golden. You can use a narrow pan, and have the oil deep enough to reach half the height of a roll, making sure to turn the rolls over to fry each side.
• Makes 3 whole rolls. Cut them diagonally to make 6 half rolls. The deeper the cut, the prettier your finished dish!
• Serve with the Sweet Thai Chili Sauce as a dip.

CRAB AND CREAM CHEESE PAN SUSHI (NO ROLLING!)

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package directions and while it is still hot, stir in rice vinegar, sugar and salt (if using) to make your sticky rice.
• Spray a 9x13 pan VERY WELL with non-stick cooking spray or line it with wax paper (I used cooking spray and it worked well). Try to use a pan that has straight edges on the bottom.
• When the rice is cool enough to handle, measure out 2 1/2 cups and press it evenly in the bottom of the pan.
• Layer 2 sheets of nori over the rice and press to make it stick. Cut the nori so it fits, if necessary.
• Spread the cream cheese evenly over the nori.
• Layer to julienned cucumber evenly over the cream cheese. You may need more than one cucumber to cover all the cream cheese.
• Chop the crab meat and sprinkle it over the cucumber.
• Top the crab meat with 2 more nori sheets and press lightly to compact everything.
• Take the remaining 2 1/2 cups of sticky rice and carefully spread it out over the nori.
• Cover with wax paper and press everything firmly into the pan. I actually used a brick to make sure the edges were pressed, too. A pancake turner would work as long as you really press with all your might.
• Keeping the wax paper over the top of the sushi, place a cutting board on top of the pan.
• Quickly but carefully flip the pan onto the cutting board. If the sushi sticks, tap lightly with a wooden spoon until it releases. If you lined the pan with wax paper, remove the paper now.
• Sprinkle rice with sesame seeds, to taste.
• Cut the sushi into squares with a very sharp knife. If it is still sticking, try wetting the knife in between cuts.
• Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi.
