INGREDIENTS

  • Rice and Seasonings

    • 💧 1 1/3 cups water
    • 🍚 2/3 cup uncooked short-grain white rice
    • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
    • 🍬 3 tablespoons white sugar
    • 🧂 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

  • Base Ingredient

    • 4 sheets nori seaweed sheets

  • Fillings

    • 1/2 pound imitation crabmeat, flaked
    • 🥑 1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
    • 🥒 1/2 cucumber, peeled, cut into small strips
    • 2 tablespoons pickled ginger

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

2

Bring water to a boil in a medium pot; stir in rice. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

3

Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Gently stir into cooked rice in the pot and set aside.

4

Lay nori sheets on a baking sheet.

5

Heat nori in the preheated oven until warm, 1 to 2 minutes.

6

Center 1 nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Use wet hands to spread a thin layer of rice on top. Arrange 1/4 of the crabmeat, avocado, cucumber, and pickled ginger over rice in a line down the center.

7

Lift one end of the mat and roll it tightly over filling to make a complete roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

8

Use a wet, sharp knife to cut each roll into 4 to 6 slices.
