Step 1
Combine warm cooked sushi rice and rice vinegar in a bowl. Stir gently to coat.
Step 2
Slice avocado and cucumber into thin lengthwise strips.
Step 3
Place one nori sheet shiny-side down on a bamboo mat. Spread half the rice in a thin layer, leaving a 0.5-inch border at the top.
Step 4
Arrange half the crab, avocado, and cucumber in a horizontal line across the center of the rice.
Step 5
Roll tightly away from you, using the mat to guide it. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
Step 6
Repeat with remaining nori sheet and fillings. Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces with a sharp, wet knife.
Step 7
Serve with soy sauce on the side.
