Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Crab meat (fresh or canned)
- 2 sheets Nori sheets
- 60 grams Cream cheese
- 1 small Cucumber
- 1 ripe Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 30 grams Pickled ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Gather all ingredients and prepare your sushi rolling station: a bamboo sushi mat covered in plastic wrap, a sharp knife, and a small bowl of water to wet your fingers.
In a bowl, mix the crab meat with a pinch of salt. If using canned crab, ensure it's well-drained before mixing.
Peel and slice the cucumber into thin, long strips about the length of the nori sheets.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin strips and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Lay one sheet of nori shiny side down on the sushi mat. Spread half of the cream cheese evenly over the nori, leaving about 2 cm clear at the top edge for sealing.
Arrange a line of crab meat across the center of the nori. Follow with a line of cucumber strips and avocado slices on top of the crab meat.
Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, pressing gently but firmly. Continue to roll until you reach the top edge. Slightly wet the edge of the nori to seal the roll.
Repeat with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients to create another roll.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6 even pieces. Wipe the knife with a wet cloth between cuts for clean edges.
Serve the crab sushi rolls with soy sauce or tamari on the side for dipping, along with wasabi paste and pickled ginger.
