Ingredients

• 300 grams Sushi rice
• 400 milliliters Water
• 60 milliliters Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Avocado
• 200 grams Imitation crab sticks
• 50 milliliters Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Toasted sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi
• 30 grams Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Drain.

Step 2

Add the rinsed rice and 400 ml of water to a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all water is absorbed.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

Transfer rice to a large wooden or glass bowl and add the vinegar mixture. Using a wooden spoon, fold to combine without mashing the rice. Let cool.

Step 6

Peel the cucumber and slice it into long, thin strips. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and skin, and slice into similar-sized strips.

Step 7

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface, and place a sheet of plastic wrap over it. Put a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.

Step 8

With wet fingers, spread a quarter of the cooled rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 9

Arrange cucumber strips, avocado slices, and imitation crab sticks horizontally across the middle of the rice.

Step 10

Starting with the edge closest to you, use the bamboo mat to start rolling the sushi away from you, pressing firmly as you roll to keep it tight.

Step 11

Once rolled, sprinkle the surface with toasted sesame seeds and lightly press them into the rice.

Step 12

Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 8 equal pieces, wiping the knife with a clean damp towel between cuts.

Step 13

Repeat the process with remaining ingredients to make three more rolls.

Step 14

Serve sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
