- 4 stick Imitation crab sticks
- 30 grams Cream cheese
- 2 large sheets Nori seaweed
- 1 Mayonnaise
- 1 White sesame seeds
- 1 dash Lemon juice
- Wash the rice as you would normally, and cook it with a little less water.
- Add to a saucepan and turn on the heat, and let it cool once the sugar and salt have dissolved.
- Add the vinegar mixture from step 1 into freshly cooked rice, and mix together as if cutting the rice.
- It is good to go once the rice has cooled and turned glossy.
- Slice the avocado 5 mm thick, and spritz with a bit of lemon juice to prevent it from changing color.
- Cut the cucumber vertically into fourths.
- Remove the imitation crab out of its package, and cut the cream cheese into sticks.
- Place the nori seaweed on top of a bamboo sushi mat (if available), and add half of the sushi rice from step 2 on top of the seaweed.
- Spread it out evenly, and sprinkle with sesame.
- Cover with a piece of plastic wrap larger than the nori seaweed, and flip it over.
- With the seaweed-side up, line up cream cheese towards the front, and lightly squirt some mayonnaise.
- Add avocado and imitation crab on top of the cream cheese and lightly top with some more mayonnaise.
- Use the plastic wrap to roll up the ingredients.
- Make sure that the end of the plastic wrap is on the bottom, and shape the roll.
- Make 1 more roll in the same manner.
- Remove the plastic wrap, slice into easy-to-eat portions, arrange onto plates, and you are done .
- Enjoy it with wasabi and soy sauce if you'd like .
