California Un-Roll

To celebrate National Crab Meat Day, March 9th, I bring you the California Un-Roll.  While not made with real crab meat here, we’re going to go ahead and celebrate with this tasty dish anyway, because that’s how we (un)roll.  I understand that the California Roll was pretty instrumental in making sushi rolls a big deal.  I know it was my first foray into the cuisine!  My family really enjoys California Rolls, so when I came across this idea – I jumped on it!  It seemed soooo much easier to put together than trying to make the rolls for a family of 7!  It has all the flavors of the beloved roll, but all mixed up.

We were out of soy sauce (somehow we have 5 bottles of Worcestershire however!).  I substituted Kecap Manis, which is a thicker sweeter sauce, as our dressing.  Next time I want to try it with soy sauce and perhaps a touch of wasabi.  I might flake some nori in it as well.
