Name: Easy California Roll Sushi Recipe
Total time: 1 hr 30 mins
Ingredients: 1 cup uncooked short-grain white rice; 1 cup water; 0.25 cup rice vinegar; 1 tablespoon white sugar; 0.5 cup imitation crabmeat, finely chopped; 0.25 cup mayonnaise; 8 sheets nori (dry seaweed); 2.5 tablespoons sesame seeds; 1 cucumber, cut into thin spears; 2 avocados - pitted, peeled, and sliced the long way

Instructions

Rinse the rice in several changes of water until the water runs clear. Drain well, then place the rice in a covered pan or rice cooker with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, and cover. Let the rice simmer for about 15 minutes, until the top appears dry. Turn off the heat and let it stand for 10 minutes to absorb any remaining water.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar and sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved. Gently stir this mixture into the cooked rice until well combined. Allow the rice to cool completely, then set it aside.
In a bowl, combine the imitation crabmeat with mayonnaise and set aside. To assemble the sushi, cover a bamboo rolling mat with plastic wrap. Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the plastic wrap. Using wet fingers, firmly and evenly spread a thin layer of prepared rice over the nori, leaving about 1/4 inch uncovered at the bottom edge. Sprinkle approximately 1/2 teaspoon of sesame seeds over the rice, gently pressing them in.
Arrange 2-3 long cucumber spears, 2-3 slices of avocado, and about 1 tablespoon of the imitation crab mixture in a line across the nori sheet, about 1/4 of the way from the uncovered edge. Lift the edge of the bamboo rolling sheet, fold the bottom edge up to enclose the filling, and tightly roll the sushi into a cylinder about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Once rolled, wrap the sushi in the mat and gently squeeze to compact it firmly.
Using a very sharp knife dipped in water, cut each roll into 1-inch pieces.
