Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces imitation crab sticks
- 1 whole ripe avocado
- 2 large cucumber
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 sheets nori sheets
Instructions
Start by slicing the cucumber lengthwise using a mandoline or a sharp knife to create long, thin strips. These will serve as the outer wrap of your sushi rolls.
Pit the avocado and scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin strips.
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean, flat surface. If desired, you can lightly brush the nori with rice vinegar for added flavor.
Spread 50 grams of cream cheese evenly over each sheet of nori.
Lay about 4 pieces of imitation crab along one edge of the nori, ensuring it is parallel to you.
Place a few slices of avocado on top of the crab, followed by a few strips of cucumber.
Begin rolling the sushi by lifting the edge of the nori closest to you and rolling it tightly over the filling. Use the sushi mat to help press and shape the roll firmly.
Continue rolling until the entire sheet is rolled up, then gently press the seam to seal the roll.
Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife. To make clean cuts, wipe the knife with a damp cloth between slices.
Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients.
Arrange the sushi rolls on a serving plate and sprinkle the tops with toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve with small dishes of soy sauce or tamari for dipping.
