Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 large Avocado
• 8 ounces Crab meat
• 1 small Cucumber
• 0 (for serving) Soy sauce
• 0 (optional, for serving) Wasabi
• 0 (optional, for serving) Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the rice is resting, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Slice the avocado into thin strips and set aside. Peel the cucumber, halve it lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Cut into thin strips.

Step 7

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.

Step 8

Dampen your hands with water to prevent sticking, and spread about 1/4 of the prepared sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 9

Lay strips of avocado, cucumber, and about 2 ounces of crab meat horizontally along the bottom edge of the rice.

Step 10

Using the bamboo mat, carefully lift the edge nearest you and begin to roll the sushi away from you, tucking the fillings in tightly.

Step 11

Continue to roll, applying gentle pressure to form a tight cylinder. Use the mat to shape and press the roll together.

Step 12

Remove the roll from the mat and place it seam-side down. Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp towel between cuts for clean slices.

Step 13

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Step 14

Serve the avocado and crab sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger. Enjoy!
