CRABMEAT ROLL SUSHI

3 American c. white med.-grain rice

VINEGAR SAUCE:

1 c. rice vinegar
1 c. white sugar
2 heaping tsp. salt

Heat to dissolve sugar; don't boil; let cool.

FILLING:

Artificial crabmeat, mixed with mayonnaise
Cucumber, cut into thin strips

Cook rice. Let steam after cooking for 20 minutes, then put into large mixing bowl and add 1 cup of cooled vinegar sauce. Toss rice lightly but thoroughly with vinegar sauce.
When rice is cooled, spread it about 1 inch thick on a sheet of nori, leaving about 1 1/2 inches uncovered at one edge of nori to use as a sealing flap. Wet fingertips in leftover vinegar sauce to make rice easier to handle.

Place crabmeat and cucumber in a thin line across the rice. Roll the rice into a cylinder, nori side out and crabmeat in the middle. Use a bamboo sushi roller or an acrylic sushi press. Slice across the sushi roll into 8 pieces and serve. Makes about 6 rolls.

"Homemade Sushi" - 10 rolls

FILLINGS:
4 oz. cooked, shelled and deveined shrimp; thinly sliced lengthwise
4 oz. imitation crab sticks (surimi); cut lengthwise into pencil-thin sticks
4 oz. thinly sliced smoked salmon
1 medium-ripe avocado; cut lengthwise in half, then thinly sliced lengthwise
1 medium carrot; cut crosswise in half, then lengthwise into pencil-thin sticks
1 small cucumber; cut lengthwise into pencil-thin sticks
GARNISHES:
Black sesame seeds
White sesame seeds; toasted
Minced chives
ACCOMPANIMENTS:
Pickled ginger
Soy sauce
Wasabi (Japanese horseradish)
SUSHI RICE:
2 cups Japanese short-grain rice
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar

1 (ten 8"x7" sheets) pkg. roasted seaweed for sushi (nori)
Chives for garnish

1) Assemble Fillings: Place each Filling in a small bowl. Cover bowls with plastic wrap and place in 15x10" jelly-roll pan for easy handling. Refrigerate Fillings until ready to use.
2) Assemble Garnishes and Accompaniments: Place each Garnish in a small bowl. Place each Accompaniment in a small serving dish; cover. If not serving right away, refrigerate pickled ginger and wasabi.
3) Prepare Sushi Rice: In 3-quart saucepan, heat rice, sugar, salt and 2 1/2 cups water to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 25 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed (rice will be sticky). Remove saucepan from heat; stir in vinegar. Cover and keep warm.
4) Make sushi rolls: Place 12"-long piece plastic wrap on work surface. Place small bowl of water within reach of work area; it's easiest to handle sticky sushi rice with damp hands.
5) Place 1 nori sheet, shiny (smooth) side down, with a short side facing you, on plastic wrap; top with generous 1/2 cup Sushi Rice. With small metal spatula and damp hands, spread and pat rice down to make an even layer over nori, leaving 1/4" border all around sheet.
6) On top of rice, starting about 2" away from side facing you, arrange desired fillings crosswise in 1 1/2"-wide strip.
7) Using end of plastic wrap closest to you, lift edge of sushi, then firmly roll sushi, jelly-roll fashion, away from you. Seal end of nori sheet with water-dampened finger. Place sushi roll on tray or platter.
8) Repeat steps 5 through 7 to make 10 sushi rolls in all, changing plastic wrap when necessary. Cover and refrigerate sushi rolls 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.
9) To serve, with serrated knife, slice off and discard ends from each sushi roll. Slice each roll crosswise into ten 1/2"-thick slices. Arrange sliced rolls on platter; garnish with chives. Serve with Accompaniments. Makes about 100 pieces.


"Sushi Dipping Sauce" - 1/2 cup (enough for 6 sushi rolls)

3 tbsp. grated Daikon (radish)
1 tbsp. grated gingerroot
1/2 to 1 tsp. prepared wasabi (Japanese horseradish)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 to 2 tbsp. water (optional)
1 green onion (scallion); sliced, for garnish - optional

In small bowl, mash together daikon, gingerroot and wasabi; stir in soy sauce until smooth. Taste; add water, a little at a time, if sauce is too salty. Garnish with green onion, if desired.
