Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 1 cup sushi rice according to package, then while warm, fold in the 2 tbsp rice vinegar and let cool to room temperature.

  2. Step 2

    Slice the 1 avocado into thin strips and shred the 4 crab sticks into bite-size pieces.

  3. Step 3

    Lay 1 nori sheet on a flat surface, spread half the rice evenly over it, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange half the avocado and crab along the bottom edge, then roll tightly away from you, using the border to seal.
