This version of the popular California roll is enveloped in a crepe instead of seaweed. Wasabi sauce is a fiery, green-colored condiment typically served with sushi. It comes in a powder that you mix with water much like dry mustard. You can omit it, if desired. It's crucial to use short-grain rice that turns sticky when cooked. From Cooking Light Magazine, April 1999.
