Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups sushi rice
- 2 cups water
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 pieces nori sheets
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 large avocado
- 8 pieces imitation crab sticks
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Combine the rice and 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice, then allow it to cool to room temperature.
Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin strips. Slice the avocado in half, remove the seed, peel the flesh, and slice it into strips as well.
To make the spicy mayo, stir together the mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of sriracha to taste if desired.
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Lay a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking and evenly spread about 1/2 cup of the cooled sushi rice over the nori, pressing gently.
At the edge closest to you, arrange cucumber strips, avocado slices, and 2 pieces of imitation crab sticks.
Using the sushi mat, roll the nori over the filling, pressing firmly but not too hard. Continue rolling to form a tight log. Repeat with remaining ingredients to form additional rolls.
Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife dipped in water to prevent sticking.
Drizzle the spicy mayo over the sushi rolls or serve on the side as a dipping sauce.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
