Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 6 ounces Imitation crab meat (low sodium)
• 1 large Ripe avocado
• 4 full sheets Nori (seaweed sheets)
• 1 small Cucumber
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar and sugar until sugar is dissolved.

Step 5

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips.

Step 7

Peel the cucumber and cut it into matchstick-sized pieces.

Step 8

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and cover it with plastic wrap.

Step 9

Place one sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the plastic-covered bamboo mat.

Step 10

Moisten your hands with water and spread about a quarter of the prepared sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 11

Lay a quarter of the imitation crab, avocado slices, and cucumber strips in a horizontal line across the center of the rice.

Step 12

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, applying gentle pressure to shape the roll. Continue rolling until the top edge of the nori meets the roll. Seal the edge by moistening it with a bit of water.

Step 13

Repeat the rolling process with the remaining ingredients to create three additional rolls.

Step 14

Use a sharp knife to slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces, wiping the blade with a damp cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.

Step 15

Serve the rolls with low sodium soy sauce, wasabi paste, and pickled ginger on the side.
