Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 Nori sheets
• 8 ounces Cooked crab meat
• 1 Avocado
• 1 Cucumber
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Pickled ginger
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch that can make the rice gummy.

Step 2

Add the rice and 1.25 cups of water to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes to finish cooking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

Step 4

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture until well combined. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature before assembling the sushi.

Step 5

Prepare the fillings: Peel and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin strips. Peel the cucumber, remove the seeds, and slice it into thin strips. Ensure the crab meat is shredded or cut into bite-sized pieces.

Step 6

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface. Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat.

Step 7

With damp hands, spread about 1/4 of the sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border along the top edge.

Step 8

Layer a few strips of avocado, cucumber, and approximately 2 ounces of crab meat across the bottom third of the rice-covered nori.

Step 9

Using the sushi mat as a guide, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

Step 10

Repeat steps 6-9 to make additional rolls.

Step 11

With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Step 12

Serve the sushi rolls on a platter with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi paste on the side for dipping.
