California Roll Salad
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups sushi rice, or Japanese short-grain white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/8 cup sake
  • 12 ounces imitation crabmeat, flaked
  • 1 cup seeded and chopped cucumber
  • 1 avocado, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce, or to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by thoroughly washing the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water until the water runs clear and free of impurities. Next, transfer the rice to a medium-sized saucepan and add 3 cups of water. Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
2
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a low simmer and cover the saucepan with a lid. Continue cooking until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed, which should take around 20 minutes.
3
Simultaneously, combine rice wine vinegar, sugar, and sake in a microwave-safe container. Heat the mixture on high in short intervals until the sugar has completely dissolved, taking approximately 1 minute.
4
After the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large serving dish. Stir in the vinegar mixture until everything is well combined and then let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5
Next, add imitation crabmeat, sliced cucumber, and chopped avocado to the bowl with the cooked rice. Mix everything together until it's well combined.
6
Finally, use soy sauce to season each individual portion of the dish.
