Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 whole Ripe avocado
- 0.5 cup Fresh crab meat
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 teaspoons Wasabi paste
- (optional for serving) Soy sauce
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch that can make the rice gummy.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover tightly with a lid. Cook for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and let sit, covered, for another 10 minutes to allow the rice to finish steaming.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar and salt together until the salt dissolves.
Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold the vinegar mixture into the rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
In the meantime, prepare the fillings. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice into thin strips. Peel the cucumber and cut into thin matchsticks.
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and lay a sheet of plastic wrap over it. Place a nori sheet on top of the plastic wrap, shiny side down.
With wet hands to prevent sticking, spread a thin layer of the cooked sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Spread a small amount of wasabi paste across the middle of the rice.
Lay a few slices of avocado, some fresh crab meat, and cucumber matchsticks over the wasabi line.
Using the mat, begin rolling the sushi tightly away from you. Ensure the filling is secure as you roll to meet the edge of the rice.
Continue rolling, using gentle pressure, to form a compact log. Use the bamboo mat to gently press and shape the roll.
Moisten the exposed edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make four rolls total.
Serve the sushi with soy sauce for dipping if desired.
