California "Sushi" Rice Salad

this dish can be dinner or lunch. I've noticed the lighting is way better before 4pm so i probably will be doing my posts before 4pm which is weird but it works for my photos. while my husband was here we were talking about making our own sushi and i found this recipe last week on Pillsbury.com . i thought it sounded neat and i love California rolls too. 

2
cups uncooked regular long-grain white rice
1/3
cup rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1/4
cup sugar
1
teaspoon salt
2
teaspoons grated gingerroot

large cucumbers, seeded, chopped
2
medium carrots, finely shredded (1 cup)
8
medium green onions, sliced (1/2 cup)
2
packages (8 oz each) imitation crabmeat sticks, sliced
