Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook 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 mix with rice vinegar. Let it cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fillings

    Julienne the cucumber and avocado. If using fresh crab meat, shred it into smaller pieces.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Rolls

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo mat. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving an inch at the top edge. Place a line of cucumber, avocado, and crab meat across the center of the rice.

  4. 4

    Roll the Sushi

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

  5. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
