Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse the Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
Cook the Sushi Rice
In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes.
Season the Rice
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the hot rice and fold gently until the rice is coated. Let it cool to room temperature.
Prepare Filling
Assemble the Rolls
Lay Out Nori
Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat.
Spread Sushi Rice
Wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take about 3/4 cup of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Add Filling
Place a line of crab meat, mango, and avocado strips horizontally across the center of the rice.
Roll the Sushi
Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.
Top and Serve
Slice the Roll
Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces. Wet the knife between cuts to keep it clean.
Add Toppings
Top each piece with a portion of the remaining Maryland crab meat, a small dab of fresh wasabi, and sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning.
Serve
Serve with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
