Ingredients

• 1 pc ripe avocado
• 150 grams fresh crab meat
• 2 pcs cucumbers
• 2 pcs nori sheets
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon wasabi
• 2 tablespoons pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with lime juice and a pinch of sea salt until smooth.

Step 2

If using fresh crab meat, ensure it's picked over for shells. Combine crab meat with a tablespoon of coconut aminos in a bowl, mixing gently.

Step 3

Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice each cucumber lengthwise into thin strips. Lay the cucumber slices flat, overlapping slightly to create a rectangular sheet (approx. 5x7 inches).

Step 4

Place one nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Lay the cucumber sheet over the nori sheet evenly.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of the mashed avocado across the bottom third of the cucumber layer, leaving the top two-thirds clean.

Step 6

Place half the crab mixture over the avocado, distributing it evenly.

Step 7

Carefully roll the bamboo mat forward, tucking the filling securely to form a tight roll. Gently squeeze along the roll to ensure it's compact.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the second roll.

Step 9

Pour the remaining coconut aminos into a small dish and mix with wasabi if desired.

Step 10

Sprinkle the rolls with black sesame seeds. Slice each roll into 6 equal pieces using a sharp knife.

Step 11

Serve with wasabi mixture and pickled ginger on the side.
