Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 2 cups sushi rice according to package directions, then let it cool to room temperature. Season with a little rice vinegar if you have it.

  2. Step 2

    Slice the 1 cucumber into thin strips and shred the 8 imitation crab sticks into a bowl. Mix the crab with the 3 tbsp mayonnaise until well combined.

  3. Step 3

    Place 1 nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo mat. Wet your hands and spread about 1/2 cup of rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch strip at the top edge.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange a line of the crab mixture and cucumber strips across the center of the rice. Roll the mat away from you, pressing gently to form a tight cylinder.

  5. Step 5

    Repeat with the remaining nori, rice, and filling. Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces with a sharp, damp knife.

  6. Step 6

    Top the rolls with the 2 tbsp tobiko and drizzle with the 2 tbsp eel sauce before serving.
