Assemble the Roll
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Lay a nori sheet on the mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Arrange crab meat, cucumber, and avocado in a line across the center of the rice.

Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
