To prepare:

  • Cut in half one sheet of nori seaweed and place it on bamboo mat
  • With a wooden spoon, spread a thin layer (about 1/8 inch thick) of sushi rice on seaweed, leaving a little room at the ends uncovered for the seal
  • At one end, layer a sliver of cucumber, slivers of avocado, and one crabmeat stick
  • Beginning at the end with the crab, roll the seaweed over, and use the mat to help keep the roll tight until you've reached the end of the seaweed wrap
  • Place roll seam side down upon the cutting board
  • Use a sharp knife to the roll into quarter or half inch wide rolls

To serve:

  • Place rolls neatly onto a Japanese flat plate, preferably rectangular in size
  • Put a small amount of wasabi and some pickled ginger at the side
  • A small dipping dish for soy sauce should accompany the meal
When cutting sushi, make sure blade is clean so as to not leave rice grains on each sushi. Wipe blade then dip in cold water before starting at each roll.
