Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
- 2
Cook the Rice
Combine the rinsed sushi rice and 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, or bring to a boil in a saucepan, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed.
- 3
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let cool to room temperature.
Make Crab Filling
- 4
Prepare Crab Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the imitation crab meat (shredded), mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, and finely chopped green onion. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Assemble the Rolls
- 5
Prepare the Rolling Station
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on the mat.
- 6
Add Sushi Rice
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take about a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
- 7
Add Crab Filling and Avocado
Place a line of crab filling in the center of the rice and top with a few slices of avocado.
- 8
Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, start rolling the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Roll until you reach the exposed edge of the nori.
- 9
Seal the Roll
Dab a little water on the edge of the nori to seal the roll. Use the bamboo mat to shape it further if needed.
- 10
Slice and Serve
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi.
