Lazy Sushi Recipe


                             




































Lazy sushi is the lazy way no need to wrap and roll with seaweed. This is a favorite recipe that my family and friends love for me to bring to a party.

I found this easy to make if you prepare the imitation crab, mango and cucumber one day ahead.

In the Philippines California Maki has mango not like in the States it is avocado.

Ingredients:

Japanese Rice

Rice Vinegar

1- Package Imitation crab
3 pieces - Large Ripe Mango or Ripe Avocado
2 pieces - Cucumber
Mayo enough to stick the imitation crab together
Wasabi tube
Kikkoman Lite Soy Sauce
Furikake Rice Seasoning (can be found in Ranch 99)

Best Korean Roasted seaweed that are prepacked individual. 

Optional: Precooked Frozen Eel 

Step 1:

Follow the instructions on the Japanese rice package and cook in the rice cooker.

If, you’re wondering how cup of rice you should make it all depends how many trays you plan to make. For example, if you plan to make one small casserole you would need 3 cups of Japanese rice.

Step 2:

Separate imitation crab meat

Add mayo

Mix together

Set aside, place in small Tupperware and put in the fridge.

Step 3:

Slice the mango and cucumber into small cubes.

Set aside in separate Tupperware containers.

Place in the fridge.

Step 4:

Once Japanese rice is already cook remove the rice and place in flat casserole dish.

Let it cool down.

Add 2 tbs spoon rice vinegar

Layering the Sushi:


Spread the rice flat

Add the cucumber


Add the mango

Add the avocado

Step 5:

Add the imitation crab meat and eel (optional)




Sprinkle the Rice Seasoning


Ready to eat!

Note:

You can always change the rice to brown rice or etc.

For those who are watching their carbohydrate you can opt the rice and use romaine lettuce.

I always do this at home for us who are on a diet. You can add hardboiled egg, tomato and other vegetables you prefer to put on your salad.
