Makes: 6 servings

Prep: 20 mins

Cook: -

Ingredients:

• Cooked Sushi Rice (1 cups)
• Fresh Salmon (4 oz., sashimi grade, thinly sliced lengthwise)
• Cucumber (4oz., diced)
• Avocado (4oz., thinly sliced)
• Fresh Crab Meat (4oz., sashimi grade, diced)
• Sesame Oil (1/2 tsp.)
• Nori (1 sheet, halved)
• Sesame Seeds (2 tbsp.)

Special Equipment/Tools Needed:

• Bamboo Mat
• Plastic Wrap (to cover bamboo mat)
• Tezu (mixture of 2 tsp. rice vinegar, and cup water)

Directions:

Combine crab meat, cucumber, and sesame oil in a medium bowl.

Cover your bamboo mat with plastic wrap, then lay it on a flat surface.

Layer your flat sliced salmon on the bottom edge of the mat.

Place your nori on your mat, starting on top of the salmon slice with the silkier side facing down.

Top with cup of your Sushi rice. Carefully wet your fingertips in tezu then proceed to spread the rice evenly over the nori. Once spread, evenly sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Gently flip your sheet of nori over so that the rice is left flat on the salmon, and bamboo mat.

Line up the edge of your nori sheet and salmon with the bamboo mat, then spread your salmon mixture at the bottom end of the nori, then top your filling with avocado slices.

Place your index and middle fingers in front of your tuna filling, position your thumbs below the bamboo mat and roll the mat.

Begin to roll the mat into a tight cylindrical shape with a gentle touch. Roll it until the end of the mat.

When you have reached the end of your nori sheet, release the mat and lift the Sushi roll off the mat gently.

Use a clean, sharp knife and cut the roll into 6 equal pieces. Clean your knife after finished each slice.

Remove plastic wrap and serve!
