  • 3-4 scallions thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sliced snow peas
  • 1 16 oz. package kani (mock crab meat), coarsely chopped
  • 1-2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • 1-2 avocados thinly sliced
  • 2 large sheets or 4 half-size sheets toasted Nori seaweed
  • 1 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1-2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • 5 oz. sliced shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions

  • Prepare sushi rice 
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine warm rice with all remaining ingredients except Toasted Sesame Nori prior to serving. 
  • Toasted Sesame Nori:
  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place Nori sheets on parchment paper. Use a pastry brush to brush with sesame oil. Sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds. 
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Cool; cut into squares or desired size.
  • (Optional) Soy Braised Shitake Mushrooms:
  • Prepare the mushrooms by placing all ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until mushrooms are tender and have reduced.
  • To serve, divide among serving plates; top with Nori strips. Garnish with avocado slices. Serve with soy sauce.
