Prepare Ingredients
While the rice is cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Slice the cucumber into thin strips. Boil or steam the ebi (shrimp) until they turn pink and are cooked through, then cool them. Prepare the soft shell crab by lightly frying it until crispy.

Assemble the Sushi Roll
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Place a nori sheet on the mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge. Arrange the soft shell crab, cucumber strips, ebi, and bean sprouts in a line across the center of the rice.

Roll the Sushi
Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, tucking it tightly as you go. Continue rolling until you reach the bare edge of the nori. Wet the edge with a little water to seal the roll.
