How to make your own, kid friendly sushi rolls at home
Cuisine Japanese

Ingredients
  

For the Rice

  • 2 1/4 cups Japanese sushi-style rice (I used Jasmine Rice)
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/4 tsp salt

For the Rolls

  • Nori Paper
  • Imitation crab meat
  • Cucumber peeled and cut into long thin strips
  • Carrots peeled and cut into long thin strips
  • Avocado peeled and sliced into thin slices
  • Yum-Yum Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Rinse & drain rice in a fine strainer, then place into a saucepan and 3 cups water.
  • Cover, and bring rice to a boil over high heat.
  • Stir together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Reduce the heat on the rice to “low”, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and allow to stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in vinegar mixture until well incorporated and no lumps of rice remain.
  • Allow to cool at room temperature. (For a shinier appearance, use an electric fan to cool rice rapidly.)
  • Spread rice in an even layer on a bamboo roller.
  • Lay a sheet of nori across the layer of rice.
  • Spoon a layer of crabmeat in a row along the bottom edge of each nori sheet.
  • Add thinly sliced cucumber, carrots, avocado, and other veggies according to your preference.
  • Roll nori sheet around the crabmeat & veggie filling, starting on the filling side until completely wrapped.
  • Cut each roll into 1” pieces.
  • Arrange on the plate and drizzle Yum-Yum sauce over the top

Notes

Edit the ingredients to fit your liking. You don't need much of the fillings.
