Ingredients

Scale

Rice and Seasoning

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1.25 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar

Fillings

  • 1 cup imitation crab
  • 1 whole avocado
  • 1 whole cucumber
  • 4 sheets nori

Toppings and Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons spicy mayo
  • 1 cup crunchy toppings (panko breadcrumbs or tempura flakes)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and Cook Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Combine the rinsed rice with 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker or saucepan, and cook until tender and fully absorbed.
  2. Prepare Ingredients: While the rice is cooking, arrange the nori sheets, sliced imitation crab, sliced avocado, and cucumber on a clean workspace, along with the spicy mayo and crunchy toppings.
  3. Assemble the Roll: Moisten your fingers to prevent sticking. Place a nori sheet shiny side down, then evenly spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the surface. Flip the nori so the rice side faces down, exposing the nori.
  4. Add Fillings: In the center of the nori, place strips of imitation crab, avocado slices, and cucumber sticks carefully.
  5. Apply Toppings: Brush the top of the roll with spicy mayo generously, then sprinkle crunchy toppings like panko breadcrumbs or tempura flakes evenly, pressing gently to make them stick.
  6. Cut and Serve: Using a knife moistened with water to prevent sticking, cut the roll into even bite-sized pieces. Arrange the sushi pieces on a plate and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure fingers are moist when handling sushi rice to avoid sticking.
  • You can substitute imitation crab with cooked shrimp or real crab meat if preferred.
  • For added flavor, lightly toast the panko before using as a crunchy topping.
  • Use a sharp knife dipped in water before each cut to achieve clean sushi slices.
  • Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi for an authentic sushi experience.
