Crab Crunch Roll Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Season the Rice

   In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice has rested, transfer it to a large bowl and fold in the vinegar mixture gently. Let it cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Prepare Fillings

   Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut the avocado into thin strips. Prepare the crab meat by shredding it if necessary.

4. 4

   Assemble the Rolls

   Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on the mat. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Place a line of crab meat and avocado slices in the center of the rice.

5. 5

   Roll the Sushi

   Using the bamboo mat, lift the edge of the mat closest to you and roll it away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces.

6. 6

   Add Crunchy Topping

   Sprinkle tempura flakes on top of each sliced roll and drizzle eel sauce over the top.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the Crab Crunch Roll with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
