Sushi

This is essentially a California roll that is topped with a Surimi (fake crab) salad made with crab stick, Panko bread crumbs, and just enough mayo to hold it together.  I add this because the course bread crumbs add textural interest to the dish.  The maki is filled with crab stick, avocado, and cucumber.  The sauces you see drizzled over the top are a spicy mayo (Japanese Mayonaise mixed with Sriracha and a drop of sesame oil) and eel sauce.  I also topped it with some Tobiko, which are actually flying fish eggs.  Let me say it before you do; this is not at all intended to be a traditional Japanese sushi roll!  Click here to learn how to properly cook sushi rice at home.
