Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 ounces Imitation crab meat
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
• 4 large Nori sheets
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

Combine the rice and 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker or a saucepan. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes until the water is fully absorbed.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir the mixture into the cooked rice until well combined. Allow the seasoned rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the imitation crab meat with low-fat mayonnaise, gently shredding the crab as you mix.

Step 5

Peel the avocado, remove the pit, and slice it into thin strips.

Step 6

Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin matchsticks, discarding any seeds.

Step 7

Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread about 1/4 cup of the seasoned rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 8

Arrange strips of avocado, cucumber, and a portion of the crab mixture across the middle of the rice.

Step 9

Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori sheet over the fillings, pressing gently to shape the roll. Continue to roll until the roll is sealed.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 6 to 8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.

Step 12

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, a dab of wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
