Step 1
Cook the 1 cup sushi rice according to package directions, then let it cool slightly. Once cool, stir in the 2 tbsp rice vinegar and set aside.
Step 2
Slice the 0.5 cucumber and 0.5 avocado into thin strips. Shred the 4 imitation crab sticks into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Place one nori sheet on a bamboo mat or a clean kitchen towel. Spread half the rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch strip at the top edge.
Step 4
Arrange half the cucumber, avocado, and crab in a line across the center of the rice. Roll the nori tightly over the filling, using the mat to press firmly.
Step 5
Repeat with the remaining nori and filling. Slice each roll into 6 pieces with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts. Serve with soy sauce if desired.
