Rice

  • Wash and rinse the rice until the water is clear. Drain well. Cook according instructions on the package.
  • Season with rice wine vinegar. Cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying.

California Roll

  • Prepare the fillings: mix crabmeat and mayonnaise.
  • Cut cucumber and avocado into thin strips, squeezing lemon juice over avocado to prevent browning.
  • Roll the sushi: Cover bamboo sushi mat with plastic wrap.
  • Place a sheet of nori shiny side down on the mat. Wet fingers in water and spread sushi rice evenly on the nori.
  • Arrange crabmeat, cucumber, and avocado along the bottom edge of nori.
  • Roll sushi mat tightly, shaping into a cylinder. Cover rolls with a damp cloth.

Spicy Tuna Roll

  • Roll sushi mat tightly, shaping into a cylinder. Cover rolls with a damp cloth.
  • Make the spicy mayo: Combine all ingredients and whisk in a bowl.

Iced Matcha Latte

  • Make the simple syrup: Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat until sugar dissolves. Cool and store.
  • Make the iced matcha latte: Add ice cubes and milk to a tall glass.
  • Sweeten with simple syrup.
  • Whisk matcha with hot water until smooth and foamy. Pour into the glass. Stir well.

Finish and Serve the Meal:

  • Wet the blade of a sharp knife and cut each spicy tuna roll into 6 - 8 pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth every few cuts. Top the whole roll with spicy mayo or serve on the side.
  • Cut each California roll into 8 pieces using the same method.
  • Serve sushi rolls with an optional side of wasabi, pickled ginger, and a small dish of soy sauce for dipping. Enjoy with miso soup and an iced matcha latte.
