Crab Temaki
8 tsp mayonnaise
2 oz cooked crab
1 tsp soy sauce
8 small slices avocado
4 sheets nori (seaweed)*
8 small pieces curly edge of lettuce or 4 sprigs of watercress
1-1/2 cups sushi rice
Mix mayonnaise with soy sauce; reserve. Pass each sheet of nori quickly
over a gas burner for a few seconds or under a broiler. Take care not to
overheat or nori will shrivel. Cut sheets in half. For each tamaki, spread
1 teaspoon flavored mayonnaise diagonally from upper corner to center of
lower edge of nori. Place 3 tablespoons sushi rice along same line. Lay a
piece of crab, a slice of avocado, and a piece of lettuce leaf over rice.
Roll nori around filling in a cone shape, like an ice cream cone. Repeat
using remaining ingredients. If sushi is not to be served immediately,
cover with damp towel. Never refrigerate sushi. Eat as soon as possible.
Makes 8 pieces.
* Nori may be purchased in the oriental section of some supermarkets,
Asian groceries and some health food stores.
