Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pc ripe avocado
- 150 grams fresh crab meat
- 2 pcs cucumbers
- 2 pcs nori sheets
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon wasabi
- 2 tablespoons pickled ginger
Instructions
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with lime juice and a pinch of sea salt until smooth.
If using fresh crab meat, ensure it's picked over for shells. Combine crab meat with a tablespoon of coconut aminos in a bowl, mixing gently.
Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice each cucumber lengthwise into thin strips. Lay the cucumber slices flat, overlapping slightly to create a rectangular sheet (approx. 5x7 inches).
Place one nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Lay the cucumber sheet over the nori sheet evenly.
Spread a thin layer of the mashed avocado across the bottom third of the cucumber layer, leaving the top two-thirds clean.
Place half the crab mixture over the avocado, distributing it evenly.
Carefully roll the bamboo mat forward, tucking the filling securely to form a tight roll. Gently squeeze along the roll to ensure it's compact.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the second roll.
Pour the remaining coconut aminos into a small dish and mix with wasabi if desired.
Sprinkle the rolls with black sesame seeds. Slice each roll into 6 equal pieces using a sharp knife.
Serve with wasabi mixture and pickled ginger on the side.
