Answer 2

You need to get a recipe for sushi rice. It is vinegar and sugar. A calafonia roll has imitation crab in it which is really easy to find at oriental markets. It is made out of fish. It also has cucumber and avacado and sometimes either sesamie seeds or fish eggs on the top. You also need nori the seaweed and that is easy to come by at natural food stores as well as oriental markets. Just make sure to get flat sheets because there are other kinds of seaweed that are not for wrapping they are for making into salads or just eating dry. You also need a sushi mat. It is bamboo. I have sat at the sushi bar and watched them make things and gotten ideas. You might want to watch them make it sometime.

INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup uncooked short-grain white rice
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 sheets nori seaweed sheets
1/2 cucumber, peeled, cut into small strips
2 tablespoons pickled ginger
1 avocado
1/2 pound imitation crabmeat, flaked
DIRECTIONS
In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/3 cups water to a boil. Add rice, and stir. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar ,and salt. Blend the mixture into the rice.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). On a medium baking sheet, heat nori in the preheated oven 1 to 2 minutes, until warm.
Center one sheet nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands. Using your hands, spread a thin layer of rice on the sheet of nori, and press into a thin layer. Arrange 1/4 of the cucumber, ginger, avocado, and imitation crabmeat in a line down the center of the rice. Lift the end of the mat, and gently roll it over the ingredients, pressing gently. Roll it forward to make a complete roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Cut each roll into 4 to 6 slices using a wet, sharp knife.

Hope this helps you out.

Answer 4

Crab, real or fake, avocado, rice, sea weed, a little rice vinegar. Not too hard.

You will need a rolling mat to get it tight.

If you aren't going to eat it right away I suggest you use the fake stuff. The cheap bars do it all the time, no one will complain.
