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

Fry Soft Shell Crab
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Dredge the soft shell crabs in flour and fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Roll
Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands and spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top. Place the fried soft shell crab, cucumber, and avocado in a line across the middle of the rice. Roll the sushi tightly using the mat, pressing gently.
