Fortyfive°* Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare Sushi Rice

   Rinse 2 cups of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved, then gently fold into the rice. Let it cool.

2. 2

   Prepare Fillings

   Dice the cucumber and avocado into thin strips. In a bowl, mix the spicy crab with a little bit of mayonnaise if desired to enhance flavor.

3. 3

   Assemble Sushi Rolls

   Place a bamboo mat on a flat surface. Lay one nori sheet on the mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Add a line of spicy crab mix, cream cheese, cucumber, and avocado in the center.

4. 4

   Roll It Up

   Using the bamboo mat, gently roll the sushi away from you, pressing firmly but not too tightly. Continue rolling until the nori edge seals the roll. Repeat for the remaining nori sheets.

5. 5

   Slice and Serve

   Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
