First off, I preheated my oven to 350 degrees. Then I halved

my pound of ground beef and started to saute it. I also added

some chopped onions into my beef (not pictured & optional).

After the meat was done, I drained it, added a 1/2 packet of taco

seasoning, or your favorite Mexican seasonings! I then started to

add my wontons to my muffin pan and sprayed them each twice

with pam cooking spray to make them nice and crispy!

I cooked mine for about 10 minutes at the 350 heat, however

depending on your oven it might take longer or shoter to crisp up!

* Make sure to keep checking them sometimes the edges would

fall and fold inside which would result in not having a cup like wonton!

I used a normal kitchen spoon and added a heaping spoonful to

each wonton cup (made 18 servings) then added all my veggies!!

1.5 TBS Mayonnaise

First off start by measuring the 3/4 cup of Japanese

rice and 1 cup water and put it in your rice cooker.

Let it cook completely & let it sit for at least 15 minutes

in the rice cooker after it clicked. Add the rice to a non metal

bowl and let it cool. Start julienning your cucumber & crab (cut

into long skinny strips). After rice is cool add the first tablespoon

of the rice vinegar and mix well, but do not make it mushy.

Using your fingers, grab some of the rice, if it doesn't stick

to them add the other tablespoon. The rice MUST be super sticky!

After rice is sticky enough, cut your nori in half. Make sure to wet

your hands completely before adding rice to the non shiny side of the

nori or you will not be able to get anything accomplished!

 After the rice is completely covering the seaweed, except

leaving a little open around every edge, flip it over!

Start adding the Crab & Cucumber (or whatever ingredients

you want to!) Shrimp, Avocado, or Salmon would all be great!

I love adding chili sauce, or making a spicy mayo sauce

(a combination of mayonnaise and chili sauce)

I use plastic wrap to help me roll it tightly, due to not having

the actually sushi roller they use. It also is a great help

whenever you are trying to slice it without smashing it!

 Enjoy!
