Ingredients
•
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
•
4 sheets nori seaweed sheets
•
1/2 pound imitation crabmeat, flaked
•
1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and sliced
•
1/2 cucumber, peeled, cut into small strips
•
2 tablespoons pickled ginger
Directions
1
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees 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.
