My grand daughter and I are going to spend a day making different kinds of sushi. This variation is going to be included because it's a little different than our standard California rolls.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sheets nori (seaweed)
  • 1/4 - cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 2 - pieces surimi (imitation crab legs)
  • 1 1/2 ounces cream cheese, thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger root, minced

How To Make cream cheese and crab sushi rolls

  • Step 1
    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.
  • Step 2
    Stir in rice vinegar and salt. Allow to cool completely.
  • Step 3
    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.
  • Step 4
    Using a sharp wet knife, slice each roll into 5 or 6 pieces.
  • Step 5
    Serve with minced ginger on the side.
