Rolls with rice and crab sticks
They will decorate your table not only on weekdays, but also on holidays. Let's get down to practical exercises and learn how to make neat rolls. But first, check the stocks, get:
- rice - 250 grams. You can take special for rolls, but, in principle, they will turn out with round rice;

Cooking process
To make rice rolls with crab sticks, you must first cook the main product - rice. We cook from it a thick viscous porridge on the water. You need to cook without salt and other additives. Cool it down.
In a separate cup we combine sugar, salt and rice vinegar. The mixture can be slightly warmed up to speed up the dissolution of salt and sugar crystals.
Pour the prepared rice with the resulting sauce and diligently mix the ingredients.
My cucumber is good. Young greenery is not necessary to peel. But if the cucumber is not too tender - we peel off the peel. We print out the sticks. Cut these ingredients into long strips with a side of 4-7 millimeters. We distribute cheese on the surface.
On a bamboo substrate we lay a sheet of nori. Then we distribute rice with crab sticks and cucumbers laid on the edge of the sheet. Nori should face up with its rough side. Where the end of the roll is logically assumed, leave 2 centimeters without rice so that the product does not fall out.
We roll the rolls starting from the side of the filling. Thus, it will be in the middle of the finished product. We dampen the free edge a little with clean water - it is easier to fix the roll. We cut a long roll into circles, the thickness of which is 2.5-3 centimeters.
Serve rice rolls with crab sticks with wasabi and teriyaki sauce.
