Quick Tips

  • Use real crab meat if you’d like a more authentic California roll flavor.
  • Add cooked shrimp, salmon, or tofu for extra protein.
  • For meal prep, store toppings separately and assemble just before serving.
  • For a lower-carb version, substitute cauliflower rice for sushi rice.
  • A squeeze of fresh lime adds a bright, fresh flavor.
