Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 200 grams Crab meat
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 small Cucumber
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 50 grams Pickled ginger
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients by ensuring the crab meat is well-drained and any excess water is removed. Set aside.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado thinly lengthwise.
Peel the cucumber and cut it into long, thin strips (julienne) matching the length of the nori sheets.
Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. If you don't have a mat, use a clean tea towel.
Spread approximately 25 grams of cream cheese evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about an inch of space at the top edge.
Arrange a quarter of the sliced avocado, cucumber strips, and crab meat across the bottom third of the nori sheet.
Drizzle lightly with rice vinegar for taste, if desired.
Lift the edge of the sushi mat closest to you, and begin rolling the sushi tightly but gently, tucking in the ingredients as you roll.
Wet the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.
Using a sharp, wet knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.
Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi paste on the side.
