Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Cook sushi rice according to package instructions. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, then fold it gently into the rice while it cools. Prep the avocado, cucumber, and crab.
Assemble the Roll: Place a sheet of nori shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch uncovered at the top. Sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.
Add the Fillings: Lay cucumber, avocado, and crab in a line across the middle of the rice.
Roll It Up: Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori and rice over the fillings, pressing firmly to shape it. Seal the roll by moistening the uncovered edge of the nori with a little water.
Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 6-8 even pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.
