Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl.

Season Rice
In a separate small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the cooked rice and gently fold to combine. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Assemble the Roll
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean 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 about 1 inch at the top edge.

Add Fillings
In the center of the rice-covered nori, layer the Dungeness crab, avocado slices, cucumber strips, and a drizzle of mayonnaise. Sprinkle tobiko on top.

Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces.

Serve
Arrange the sushi rolls on a plate and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
