Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 6 pieces Imitation crab sticks or real crab meat
- 1 Avocado
- 3 Nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Pickled ginger (optional)
- 1 Plastic wrap
- 1 Bamboo sushi mat
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Combine the rinsed rice and water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold the mixture into the cooked rice using a wooden spoon or spatula. Let it cool slightly.
Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips.
Prepare the rolling station by placing a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and covering it with a sheet of plastic wrap.
Lay one nori sheet, shiny side down, on the sushi mat. Spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge.
Place 2 crab sticks (or a portion of real crab meat) and a few avocado slices horizontally across the middle of the rice layer.
Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the sushi into a tight cylinder. Apply gentle but firm pressure to secure the roll as you go.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create two more rolls.
Use a sharp knife dipped in water to slice each roll into 6-8 equal pieces.
Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side, if desired.
