Last Minute Sushi (Crab Stick and Avocado)
Shades of Deadpool
I want sushi.
What kind?
No sushi grade fish/seafood? No smoked salmon? No asparagus? Don't want to make tamago? The bacon's frozen solid?
Well, what DO you have?
A couple of avocados in the fridge and three fake crab sticks in the freezer.
Sigh!!
Ok .... I CAN do this.
This is the internal conversation I had with myself.
Luckily, the crab sticks thawed quickly when I submerged the plastic freezer bag in cold water.
I had to make a quick batch of seasoned rice vinegar (6 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp salt) cause I was almost out but otherwise, this is what I ended up with.
Four gunkan sushi (3 spicy crab stick, 1 guacamole) and Two crab stick and avocado temaki (hand rolls)
Prepping the strips of nori (1 1/2 inch or about 2 finger width) and the rice ovals (about a rounded soup spoon of rice) for the gunkan or battleship sushi
One crab stick, avocado and spicy Sriracha mayo futomaki (cause it was pretty fat)
