Ingredients(Servings: 2)

kanikama / imitation crab sticks

4

avocado

1/2

cream cheese

60 g (2.1 oz.)

green onions

1 stalk

nori seaweed

2 sheets

cooked rice

330 g (11.6 oz.)

butterhead or other lettuce

4 to 6 leaves

tobiko / flying fish roe

30 g (1.1 oz.)

Directions

  1. Slice each kanikama into half lengthwise. Cut the avocado and cream cheese into rectangular logs, finely chop up the green onion.
  2. Place the nori seaweed sheets onto a flat plate or surface, evenly spread the rice on top. Cover with plastic wrap or wax paper, then place a sushi mat on top and carefully flip over all together.
  3. Spread the lettuce leaves over each nori seaweed sheet, arrange the kanikama, avocado and cream cheese along the nearest edge and roll up.
  4. Remove the plastic wrap once to sprinkle the sesame seeds onto the rice, then re-wrap the roll, and cut up into easy-to-eat slices with the plastic wrap on (this helps prevent rice and ingredients from sticking to the knife when slicing). Remove the plastic wrap, top each slice with the tobiko and green onions and serve with soy sauce.
