Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/3 cup rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- 1 cup imitation crab, shredded
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1/2 cup tempura flakes
- Soy sauce for serving
- Wasabi for serving
- Pickled ginger for serving
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a pot, combine the rice and water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, heat rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Remove from heat.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool.
- Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a sheet of nori on it, shiny side down.
- Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
- Arrange a line of imitation crab, avocado slices, and cucumber along the bottom edge of the rice.
- Sprinkle tempura flakes over the fillings.
- Using the mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll.
- Seal the edge with a little water and slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a drizzle of sriracha inside the roll.
- Make sure to use sushi-grade fish if you prefer fresh seafood.
- Keep a bowl of water nearby to wet your hands while handling the rice.
