Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
• 3 pieces Nori sheets
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 whole Avocado
• 1 medium Carrot
• 100 grams Cooked crab or imitation crab
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker or saucepan. Cook according to your rice cooker instructions or on the stove until the water is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, mix 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce in a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds to dissolve the sugar, then let it cool.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the vinegar mixture using a spatula. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 5

While the rice is cooling, cut the cucumber, avocado, and carrot into thin strips, removing any seeds from the cucumber.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine 0.25 cup of mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon of sriracha sauce to make the spicy mayo. Adjust spiciness to your preference if needed.

Step 7

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface. Lay a piece of plastic wrap over the mat, then place a nori sheet on top with the shiny side down.

Step 8

With wet hands, spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice across the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 9

Lightly sprinkle some sesame seeds over the rice for added flavor.

Step 10

Arrange cucumber, avocado, carrot, and crab along the bottom edge of the rice.

Step 11

Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of the spicy mayo over the fillings.

Step 12

Begin rolling the sushi using the bamboo mat, applying gentle pressure. Roll tightly but without squishing the ingredients. Seal the edge of the nori with a touch of water.

Step 13

Slice the roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp, damp knife.

Step 14

Serve the sushi rolls with any remaining spicy mayo on the side for dipping.
