Do you know your "sushi"? Would you enjoy/eat this type of california roll?!


Question: I was just curious. My family has a specific way of making california rolls, which some people call "sushi". We put (of course) seaweed laver, cooked sticky white rice (seasoned with a bit of sesame seed oil, dash of sugar, drop of vinegar, and salt), spinach (first steamed then seasoned in sesame oil and salt), eggs (pan fried thick including yolk, seasoned with oil and salt), imitation crab meat (really just pollack fish), sometimes ground beef (seasoned in sesame seed oil and some salt,sugar), carrots (not fresh--again, cooked on the pan guillian sliced with salt, sesame seed oil), pickled radish (that looks yellow dyed or...au naturale non-dyed). All rolled up then sliced 2 cm wide.

Would you enjoy this? Just curious how appetizing/popular this would be if I brought california rolls to some outing/picnic or potluck.

It's technically not a California roll, it would be maki sushi since it's rolled. A Cali roll is avocado, crab, and cucumber.

It sounds good, maybe minus the ground beef for me. That would be a weird texture with the other stuff.

ETA: I've actually had a roll with beef terriyaki in it and it was pretty tasty. Fish cakes would be good too. I've also had crab cake in another roll. You should try strawberries, smoked salmon, and cream cheese! It's delish!!!

: )

To me, any sushi that is made well with fresh ingredients sounds appetizing!!

yes i would

I'd try it. Just make them and bring them, you might be surprised at how many would enjoy them.

I have always wanted to give sushi a try. It has always looked so appetizing. However, as sensitive as my stomach is food, I've been so afraid to give it shot. At some point after my pregnancy, I vowed that I would try at least one and knowing that I will stay home for the night just in case.'

The California Roll that you described sounds so yummy. If you bring it to a picnic it would be a huge hit i'm sure. People are always looking to try new things.

Well, I don't eat beef so I wouldn't like it, but if your family does, take it and let others try it. I don't like California rolls, but that's just because I have gotten a little more sophisticated in my sushi likes and California rolls are a little bland. I'm sure many people would think it was just great.
