Ingredients

• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 ⅓ cups water
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and sliced
• 2 tablespoons pickled ginger
• ½ pound imitation crabmeat, flaked
• 4 sheets nori seaweed sheets
• ⅔ cup uncooked short-grain white rice
• ½ cucumber, peeled, cut into small strips

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Step 2

Bring water to a boil in a medium pot; stir in rice. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 3

Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Gently stir into cooked rice in the pot and set aside.

Step 4

Lay nori sheets on a baking sheet.

Step 5

Heat nori in the preheated oven until warm, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 6

Center 1 nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Use wet hands to spread a thin layer of rice on top. Arrange 1/4 of the crabmeat, avocado, cucumber, and pickled ginger over rice in a line down the center. Lift one end of the mat and roll it tightly over filling to make a complete roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Step 7

Use a wet, sharp knife to cut each roll into 4 to 6 slices.
