1 tsp Celtic sea salt

4 sheets Nori sheets

Method

Preparation Instructions

Prepare the Sushi Rice

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl and let it cool slightly. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved, then fold it into the rice.

Assemble the Sushi Rolls

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface. Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top. Arrange cucumber, avocado, and crab meat in a line along the bottom edge of the rice.

Roll the Sushi

Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure. Roll until the nori is sealed. Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.

Serve

Arrange the sushi pieces on a platter and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
