Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat until dissolved. Pour the mixture over the rice and fold gently to combine. Let it cool to room temperature.

Assemble the Rolls

  1. 3

    Prepare Fillings

    Slice the cucumber and avocado into thin strips.

  2. 4

    Roll the Sushi

    Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Place the grilled crab sticks, cucumber, and avocado in a line across the center of the rice. Roll the sushi tightly from the bottom using the mat, pressing gently to secure the roll.

  3. 5

    Cut and Top

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 8 pieces. Drizzle with spicy mayo and eel sauce, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
