This dish is a deconstructed version of the California roll, which typically includes crab (real or imitation), cucumber and avocado. Ree skips the avocado and doubles down on crunch with shredded carrots and canned fried onions. She tops it all with pickled ginger, sesame seeds and seaweed snacks, which are a nod to the nori seaweed found in many rolls.
