Approx. 16 oz of rice (recipe calls for 2 (8.8 oz) packages of microwaveable rice – I used sushi rice, to good effect)<\/p>\n
2\/3 cup of rice vinegar<\/p>\n
2 teaspoons sugar<\/p>\n
1 1\/4 teaspoons salt<\/p>\n
2 avocados<\/p>\n
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into 1\/2 pieces<\/p>\n
1 1\/2 cup surimi (about 8 oz.) cut into 1\/2 inch pieces (I used tuna)<\/p>\n
12 boston lettuce leaves – rinsed and dried<\/p>\n
6 tablespoons finely crushed wasabi peas (optional)<\/p>\n
1. Microwave each rice packet fro 90 seconds (or just make your rice). Place rice in medium-size bowl and stir in vinegar, sugar and salt; let sit 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
2. While rice sits, cut each avocado in half (I saw an Alton Brown where he showed how to cut an avocado. It’s amazing how he stays with you.). Cut 3 of the halves into 1\/2 inch chunks. Cut remaining half into 12 slices (I chunked all of the avocado. I’m not big on the garnish); set aside.<\/p>\n
3. Gently stir avocado chunks, cucumber, and surimi into rice.<\/p>\n
4. Fan 2 lettuce leaves on a plate (I used bagged mixed leaves, and tossed a handful in a bowl.) Top with 1 cup rice mixture; repeat for 6 servings. Garnish each with two avocado slices and 1 tablespoon crushed wasabi peas, if desired. (I made a dressing out of wasabi powder and soy sauce and used that on top.)<\/p>\n
