Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 large Avocado, diced
• 2 sheets Nori sheets, toasted and crumbled
• 1 cup Imitation crab meat, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 2 tablespoons Scallions, thinly sliced

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 rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, in a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Then stir in the vinegar mixture evenly throughout the rice. Spread the rice onto a tray to cool.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled sushi rice with cucumber, carrot, avocado, nori, crab meat, and scallions.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, and wasabi. Drizzle over the salad.

Step 7

Toss the salad gently to mix the ingredients and dressing thoroughly.

Step 8

Top with pickled ginger, toasted sesame seeds, and any additional nori sheets, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately or refrigerate and cover for up to an hour before serving.
