Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Gluten-free nori (seaweed sheets)
• 8 ounces Imitation crab (gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 small Avocado
• 0.25 cup Gluten-free soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium pot, combine the washed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the rice is resting, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave for 15 seconds or until the sugar dissolves. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice and set aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Prepare the spicy crab mixture: In a bowl, mix the gluten-free mayonnaise, sriracha, and imitation crab until well combined. Set aside.

Step 5

Cut the cucumber and avocado into thin, matchstick-size slices for rolling.

Step 6

Lay a sheet of gluten-free nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Using wet hands to prevent sticking, spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of nori uncovered at the top edge.

Step 7

Place a stripe of the spicy crab mixture, cucumber slices, and avocado slices along the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori sheet.

Step 8

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori from the bottom edge to the top, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Wet the uncovered edge of the nori to seal the roll.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 equal pieces. Repeat for the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.

Step 10

Serve the gluten-free spicy crab rolls with gluten-free soy sauce on the side for dipping.
