Ingredients
  • 4 nori sheets
  • 4 cups sushi rice, cooked
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 1 Persian cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces imitation crab sticks
Directions
  1. Wrap a bamboo sushi mat with plastic wrap. Fill a small bowl with water and set it close to the mat.
  2. Place a nori sheet on the plastic wrap with the rough side facing up.
  3. Place 1 cup of rice on top of the nori. Working with wet fingers, spread the rice evenly, covering the entire sheet. Sprinkle with 1 ½ teaspoons of sesame seeds. Flip the nori sheet over so the rice side is now facing down.
  4. Place 3 to 4 thin slices of avocado in the center of the sheet, followed by 5 to 6 thin slices of cucumber. Finish off by placing 1 crab stick, sliced in half lengthwise, in the center of the sheet.
  5. Grab the bottom edge of the mat and start rolling the sushi into a tight log, lifting the edge of the bamboo mat as you roll.
  6. Pull the bamboo off of the sushi. At this point if the plastic wrap came off of the roll, rewrap it in the plastic wrap for cutting.
  7. Wet a sharp knife and cut the sushi into 6 to 8 pieces.
  8. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients, until you have 4 rolls.
  9. Serve with soy sauce or desired sauce.
