Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved, then fold it into the rice. Allow to cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fillings

    In a bowl, combine the Dungeness crab meat with the Kewpie mayonnaise. Slice the avocado and jalapeño thinly.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Roll

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands and spread an even layer of sushi rice on the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Layer the crab mixture, avocado slices, and jalapeño along the center of the rice.

  4. 4

    Roll It Up

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing firmly to keep the roll tight. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

  5. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve with soy sauce or additional Kewpie mayonnaise if desired.
