Kimchi Crab Roll
The Kimchi Crab roll has a great mix of vinegar, heat, and bitterness. This is a roll that really grows on people, especially among kimchi lovers. The Radish sprouts give a kick that compliments the kimchi. The crab in this roll can always be substituted with shrimp.
Start with a half-sheet or three-quarters sheet of nori, radish sprouts, kimchi, and either imitation crab (kani kama) or real crab.
Add sesame seeds to the rice.
Place the crab meat on the end near you.
Add your kimchi. Make sure the juices have been drained. Wet kimchi will make the roll soggy.
Add radish sprouts. You can substitute with alfalfa sprouts or another type, but radish sprouts have a great kick which compliments the kimchi.
Make sure there is space at the end of the roll where the sprouts won’t keep the roll from sealing.
Start the first revolution of the roll.
Tighten and shape the roll.
You may have sprouts hanging out the ends. You can cut them off if you wish.
Sprinkle a liberal amount of furikake (rice seasoning) across the top of the roll.
Cover with plastic wrap.
Use the rolling mat to press the sesame seeds and furikake into the rice. Cut into eight pieces.
Cut the roll just as you would cut the others. This is a beautiful roll with a different flavor profile than what’s found in most sushi restaurants. This is the type that will impress friends and family, leaving them seeing you as more than a novice sushi artist.
