I agree with others here, I felt intimidated about making sushi until I saw this recipe and decided to go for it. It is super easy! I marinated my cucumber in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and fresh ginger. I also added tofu. And embarrassingly, cream cheese! Ok, I'm white, I like cream cheese in my sushi! :)

Being pregnant I have to be wary of eating fish with high methyl mercury content and cold cuts being contaminated with listeria. I have not been able to eat my favorite spicy tuna sushi for 5 months despite craving for it. I'm very happy that this dish hit the spot! (Be forewarned that if you're used to eating spicy tuna, volcano rolls etc. that this recipe will probably taste a bit bland to you.) It's a very basic recipe. CHANGES: Made 2 cups of Cal Rose rice then mixed in 2 tablespoons of Nakano seasoned rice vinegar and 1 tsp of sesame oil. Just add crab meat to the cucumber, avocado and you've got a California roll! Other great ideas to add into the sushi is shrimp tempura and use eel sauce from this site (don't worry there's no eel in the sauce) or maybe even some salmon roe.

I made these, they were very easy. Remember to tightly roll so the ingredients stay in the middle when you cut them. I also made avacado, cucumber, and smoked salmon rolls as well as smoked salmon and cream cheese rolls. Very good!

If you have a couple hours on a Saturday morning, this is a great way to spend it. The recipe (and finding all the ingredients) took some time but it was definitely worth it, especially because it lasts a long time.
