Sushi Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Microwave for 30 seconds to dissolve. Pour the mixture over the warm rice and gently fold to combine. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Make Crab Mix

    In a separate bowl, mix the crab meat with mayonnaise until well combined. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare Avocado

    Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Cut into thin slices.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Roll

    Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and lay down a sheet of nori. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top. Add a line of crab mix and a few slices of avocado in the center.

  6. 6

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure. Roll it tightly until you reach the bare edge of the nori. Seal the edge with a little water.

  7. 7

    Slice the Roll

    With a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the roll. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
