Do whatever you want - Self California Roll

This is one of my favorite california rolls. It's easy to prepare and offers a wide choice. You can use a variety of your favorite ingredients. You can also use leftover vegetables.
It would be perfect, if I added some poached shrimp to go with it, but I didn't have any shrimp.
Actually, making california roll is not easy. I think it's too much like hard work -I have to make a roll one by one. But, If I prepare the ingredients, we can make several at a time (choose your favorite things). If you are vegetarian, put all vegetables onto dried seaweed. If you are a meat lover, put ham, beef! Easy and simple.

How to make it? 

Julienne a cucumber, pepper, avocado, crab stick, sliced fried egg and ham (or saute beef)
Put aside, make a sauce - I made mayo and soy sauce (mix mayo and wasabi /soy sauce and wasabi)
Make sushi rice - http://norecipes.com/recipe/sushi-rice-recipe
Cut dried seaweed.
Wrap and eat.  Enjoy!

California Roll

California roll is a creative American twist on sushi. It is simple and it tastes sublime, so I love it.
Every time I saw a California roll in a Japanese restaurant I wanted to try it. But I have not learned how to make it.
Look at my pictures! My foods photograph well. This picture is one of my photogenic foods.
Actually, I made many mistakes when I made a California roll. It was hard to make it.
There were grains of steamed rice stuck on my fingers while I was making the roll.
The rice was very sticky, so I made a lot of adjustments as necessary and covered it with two types of sauce.
It looks like a good shape but there were many mistakes. I have no talent to make a California roll.

I made my own sauce.
Mix my special soy sauce, mayonnaise and Balsamic Glaze  from Trader Joe's.
