Method of Preparation

Thoroughly rinse the rice in cool water. Repeat process until water runs clear. Drain well. Place rice in a medium saucepan. Add water and bring to a bowl. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15-20 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove pan from heat and let stand (still with cover on) for 10 minutes. Transfer rice to a bowl to cool slightly breaking up any clumps. Whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. (If you are using seasoned rice vinegar you will not need to add sugar or salt to it). Add the mixture to the rice and toss to completely coat rice. Let rice sit out until cool enough to handle with your hands. Meanwhile whisk together the mayo and Wasabi Ginger Sauce; set aside. Place 1 nori sheet on a bamboo sushi matt. Spread about ¼ of the rice on the sheet in and even layer. Keep your fingers wet, it will help prevent the rice from sticking to you. Flip the rice covered nori over so the rice is facing down. Place your fillings (crab, avocado, and cucumber) across the nori sheet about ¼ of the way up from the bottom. Start rolling using your matt to firmly keep the roll in place. Apply some pressure to make a tight roll. If it’s not tight enough, it will be difficult to cut. Once the roll is complete, use a sharp knife to cut into about 6 pieces. Keep your knife clean and wet for each new slice. Top the rolls with toasted sesame seeds if desired. Serve with the Wasabi Ginger mayo.
