Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
- 4 pieces Nori sheets
- 8 ounces Imitation crab meat
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons White sesame seeds
Instructions
Start by rinsing 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch for perfect sushi rice.
Combine the rinsed rice with 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions until the rice is fully done.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the seasoning mix by combining 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Once the rice is cooked, gently fold the vinegar mixture into the warm rice using a spatula. Be careful not to mash the rice. Set aside to cool.
While the rice is cooling, peel and slice 1 large avocado, and slice 1 medium cucumber into thin strips.
Prepare the spicy mayo sauce by mixing 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of sriracha sauce in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of sriracha to taste if desired.
To assemble the sushi roll, place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side facing down.
Spread a thin layer of the cooled sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border on the top edge.
Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of white sesame seeds over the rice for added flavor and texture.
Arrange slices of imitation crab meat, cucumber strips, and avocado slices in a straight line along the bottom edge of the rice.
Using the bamboo mat, gently roll the sushi away from you, pressing lightly to shape the roll without pushing the filling out.
Slice the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces with a sharp, slightly wet knife for clean cuts.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.
Serve the sushi rolls with the spicy mayo sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
