Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Cook the rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine sushi rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. 2

    Season the rice

    In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Assemble the Roll

  1. 3

    Prepare the filling

    In a bowl, mix crab meat and spicy mayonnaise. Set aside.

  2. 4

    Roll the sushi

    Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Add a line of the crab mixture and chopped Ahi tuna in the center, along with avocado slices.

  3. 5

    Roll it up

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

  4. 6

    Add tempura flakes

    Sprinkle tempura flakes onto the outside of the roll for added crunch.

Slice and Serve

  1. 7

    Cut the roll

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean edges.

  2. 8

    Plate and enjoy

    Serve the crab and spicy ahi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
