  •  1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Light Brown Sugar

Directions

  1. Add rice, water, salt, and olive oil to the Cooking Pot. Close the lid, select the WHITE RICE setting, once the program has completed, transfer the rice to a bowl
  2. Add rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to the cooked rice. Mix by hand and set aside. Allow rice to cool.
  3. Next, make the crab filling. Gently stir together crab meat, soy sauce, mayo, and sriracha in a bowl.
  4. Prepare the sushi. Spread 1 ¼ cup of rice on nori, completely covering it with a thin layer.
  5. Turn the nori to its other side (the rice should stick to the nori), so the side with the rice is on the bottom.
  6. Place strips of cucumber and avocado lengthwise in the middle of the nori paper. Add a thin row of crab meat, using about 3 tablespoons.
  7. Begin to fold the sushi with the seaweed side closest to you so it forms a roll. One the sushi is completely rolled, cut into equal pieces.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce.
