Roll the Sushi
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Lay a nori sheet shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top. Place a line of avocado, cucumber, and crab in the center of the rice.

Form the Roll
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.
