CALIFORNIA SUSHI


ingredients

5 c. uncooked rice, washed and cooked
2/3 c. vinegar
2/3 c. sugar
3 tsp. salt
2 tsp. ajinomoto
avocado
watercress
kamaboko
radish sprouts
prepared horseradish
cucumber
takuan
crab sticks

preparation

Bring to a boil and cool the vinegar, sugar, salt and ajinomoto. Mix into rice. Cut 20 sheets of yaki (roasted) nori in half. Cut vegetables into 1/4 x 2-inch strips. Arrange vegetables on a platter with a small dish of prepared horseradish to sparingly spread over rice as people roll their own sushi. To make a sushi, a person would take a nori sheet, place a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori; place some horseradish over rice and place any combination of vegetables in the center. Roll nori into a cone shape or into a jellyroll shape before eating.
