Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 8 pieces Imitation crab sticks
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.5 cup Fish roe (Tobiko or Masago)
• 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
• 0 as needed Soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 18 minutes until the water is absorbed.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 4

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the rice while gently folding with a wooden spoon to season it.

Step 5

Allow the seasoned sushi rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Peel and cut the cucumber into long, thin strips. Halve and pit the avocado, then slice it thinly.

Step 7

Place a bamboo rolling mat on a flat surface and cover it with a sheet of plastic wrap for cleanliness.

Step 8

Lay one sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking.

Step 9

Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1-inch of nori at the top edge. Press gently to ensure rice covers the nori evenly.

Step 10

Turn the nori and rice sheet over so that the rice is facing down on the mat.

Step 11

Lay two imitation crab sticks horizontally across the middle of the nori. Add a row of cucumber and avocado slices on top of the crab.

Step 12

Use the bamboo mat to gently roll the sushi, starting from the bottom edge away from you. Press and shape the roll tightly as you go.

Step 13

Once rolled, lightly squeeze to shape the roll. Unroll the bamboo mat, leaving the sushi roll on the plastic wrap.

Step 14

Gently press a thin layer of fish roe on the surface of the roll.

Step 15

Use a very sharp knife, moistened with water, to cut the sushi roll into 8 even pieces.

Step 16

Repeat the process with remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Step 17

Serve with soy sauce and a small amount of wasabi for dipping.
