Ingredients

  • 1 Minute® Sticky Rice Cup
  • 1 nori sheet
  • 1 crab stick, shredded
  • ½ avocado, thinly sliced
  • 6-8 matchstick-sized cucumber pieces
  • Spicy mayo (if desired)
  • Soy sauce (if desired)

Instructions

  • For a taste of Japan, make this California Roll. Filled with fresh crab, avocado, and cucumber, it’s a light and refreshing dish that’s ready in minutes!

    Step 1

  • Heat rice according to package directions. Allow to cool to room temperature.

    Step 2

  • On a bamboo rolling mat, place a sheet of plastic wrap. Lay the nori sheet, shiny side down on the plastic.

    Step 3

  • Spread rice onto nori, leaving space on both the top and bottom edge. Place filling (crab stick, avocado, cucumber, and carrots) on edge closest to bottom of mat.

    Step 4

  • Roll the bamboo tightly, making sure to roll the bottom around the filling.

    Step 5

  • Cut roll into 6 pieces. Drizzle with spicy mayo and serve with soy sauce.

    Pro Tips

    Get the knife slightly wet to help avoid getting rice stuck on the knife and for a smoother cut.

    Remember to flip the nori and rice over and add the filling on the nori side if you prefer the rice on the outside of the rolls!
