Instructions

  1. 1 Stir chopped crab sticks and mayonnaise together in a small bowl; set aside.
  2. 2 Slice ends off cucumber; cut into quarters lengthwise. Thinly slice each quarter lengthwise to make spears; set aside.
  3. 3 Lay 1 sheet nori on bamboo sushi rolling mat. With wet fingers, firmly pat a thin, even layer of prepared rice over nori, leaving a 1/3-inch edge at the bottom. Sprinkle sesame seeds over rice; carefully flip over.
  4. 4 Place 1 tablespoon crab mixture in a line about one-third from the top. Place 1 to 2 cucumber spears and 1 to 3 avocado slices.
  5. 5 Roll nori sheet tightly into a cylinder around rice and filling, using the bamboo mat, starting at the top edge. Moisten uncovered edge with water; finish rolling once you reach the bottom. Repeat with the remaining nori, rice, sesame seeds, crab mixture, cucumber, and avocado.
  6. 6 Slice each roll into 3/4-inch pieces. Garnish each piece with 1/8 teaspoon tobiko.
