Recipe for California maki with surimi, what ingredients are needed?
To achieve the California maki recipe with surimi, Here is the list of ingredients you will need:
- 300g of Japanese sushi rice
- 3 sheets of Nori
- 3-4 g of salt
- 10 g of powdered sugar

How to make California maki with surimi?
First, prepare your rice (see rice preparation).
Cut the surimi sticks into strips (lengthwise). Do the same with the cucumber and avocado. Depending on the size of the vegetables, adjust the number of strips so that they can be distributed along their entire length.
Take your Easy Sushi®, open it, and unroll the film. The California roll is an "inside-out maki," so you must first gently spread the thin layer of rice and press it down lightly. Then place the nori sheet on top of the rice (previously cut to the width of the Easy Sushi®) and press down to shape it into the half-cylinders.
Next, arrange the surimi strips (or crabmeat) on one side, then the cucumber and avocado strips on the other. Season with mayonnaise to taste.
Hold the bar and close your Easy Sushi®. Pull very gently on the bar. Stop, then pull back on the film. Repeat this once. Finally, roll the resulting cylinder in the rectangular dish in which you have previously spread the sesame seeds.
Let it rest for 1 minute, then slice your California rolls with a knife, remembering to moisten the blade with each stroke. There you go, it's ready!
