Ingredients

For the Sushi:

• 🍚 1 recipe sushi rice
• 🦀 8 oz imitation crab sticks
• 🥄 3 Tbsp Japanese mayonnaise
• 🥑 1 ripe avocado
• 🥒 1/2 English cucumber
• 🟩 8 sheets toasted nori seaweed (cut in half)
• 🌱 Toasted sesame seeds
• 🌱 Black sesame seeds
• 🍤 16 tempura fried shrimp

Toppings:

• 🍶 Unagi sauce
• 🌶️ Spicy mayo

Instructions

1. Prepare the Sushi Rice:
   • Cook the sushi rice according to your recipe or use a rice cooker for best results. Let the rice cool to room temperature. Note: This recipe makes enough rice for 8 rolls, so adjust as needed. 🍚
2. Mix Crab Filling:
   • Finely chop the imitation crab sticks and mix them with 3 tablespoons of Japanese mayonnaise. Set the mixture aside. 🦀🥄
3. Prepare the Sushi Mat:
   • Wrap your bamboo sushi mat in plastic wrap to make cleanup easier. 📦
4. Prepare the Nori:
   • Place 1 sheet of toasted nori on the sushi mat. Use scissors to cut off 1/4 of the sheet to ensure you have the right size for rolling. ✂️
5. Spread the Rice:
   • Wet your hands in a bowl of water to prevent the rice from sticking. Grab a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, pressing gently. Keep your hands wet to avoid mashing the rice. 💦
6. Add Sesame Seeds:
   • Sprinkle toasted white sesame seeds and black sesame seeds over the rice. Flip the entire sheet of nori over onto the mat. 🌱
7. Add Fillings:
   • In the center of the seaweed, place about 1 ounce of the crab mixture, a few strips of cucumber, two slices of avocado, and 2 tempura fried shrimp (with tails removed). 🦀🥒🥑🍤
8. Roll the Sushi:
   • Using the sushi mat, gently compress the ingredients while rolling the nori. Keep the roll tight as you continue to roll it with the mat. 🔄
9. Slice the Roll:
   • Place the roll on a cutting board. Use a sharp, wet knife to cut the sushi into 8 equal pieces, wetting the knife between slices to prevent sticking. 🔪
10. Add Toppings and Serve:
    • Drizzle the roll with spicy mayo and unagi sauce. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side. 🍶🌶️

Instructions

1️⃣ Make the sushi rice according to the recipe. It’s best to use a rice cooker. Let the rice cool. Note: the sushi rice recipe makes 8 rolls, but you can cut this in half if needed. 🍚

8️⃣ Using the sushi mat, slightly compress the inner ingredients while rolling the nori. Keep rolling the sushi with the mat, ensuring the roll is tight. 🔄
