Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 2 sheets nori (seaweed)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, cut into thin strips
- 4 oz crab meat (or imitation crab)
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
- Rinse sushi rice under cold water until clear, then cook according to package instructions with about 1¼ cups water. Let cool slightly.
- While the rice cools, slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips.
- Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of nori shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking.
- Spread 1/2 cup of sushi rice evenly on the nori, leaving an inch at the top edge free from rice. Press gently to adhere.
- Add crab meat in the center, then layer avocado and cucumber strips atop the crab meat.
- Carefully roll from the bottom up using the bamboo mat while applying gentle pressure until reaching the exposed edge of nori; seal by dampening it slightly with water. Slice into pieces and drizzle with spicy mayo and soy sauce before serving.
