Fuji Roll Ingredients

Method

Fuji Roll Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Microwave for about 30 seconds until sugar dissolves. Pour this mixture over the warm sushi rice and fold gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Fillings

    Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips. If using fresh crab meat, shred it into pieces.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Rolls

    Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and lay a nori sheet shiny side down. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top free of rice. Lay strips of avocado, cucumber, and crab meat across the center of the rice.

  5. 5

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Roll until the exposed edge of the nori sticks to the rice. Seal the roll with a bit of water.

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
