Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 8 ounces Crab meat
• 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Protein powder (unflavored)
• 0.5 cup Cooked edamame
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger

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 rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 more minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gently spread the cooked rice onto a baking sheet. Drizzle the vinegar mixture over the rice and gently fold with a rice paddle or spatula to combine. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 5

While the rice cools, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, Greek yogurt, soy sauce, and unflavored protein powder. Mix well until combined.

Step 6

Peel and slice the cucumber into thin strips. Peel, pit, and slice the avocado.

Step 7

Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat covered with plastic wrap.

Step 8

With damp hands, spread about 3/4 cup of the cooled rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the top.

Step 9

Arrange a line of cucumber, avocado, crab mixture, and edamame along the center of the rice.

Step 10

Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi away from you, pressing the filling firmly as you roll. Seal the edge with a little water if needed. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife dipped in water, slice each roll into 8 pieces.

Step 12

Serve the crab sushi rolls with wasabi, pickled ginger, and soy sauce for dipping.
