water
1/4
cup
rice vinegar
1/4
cup

tsp

For the Rolls
Nori Paper
Imitation crab meat
Cucumber
peeled and cut into long thin strips
Carrots
peeled and cut into long thin strips
Avocado

Yum-Yum Sauce
Instructions
Rinse & drain rice in a fine strainer, then place into a saucepan and 3 cups water.
Cover, and bring rice to a boil over high heat.
Stir together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved in a small bowl; set aside.
Reduce the heat on the rice to “low”, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
Stir in vinegar mixture until well incorporated and no lumps of rice remain.
Allow to cool at room temperature. (For a shinier appearance, use an electric fan to cool rice rapidly.)
Spread rice in an even layer on a bamboo roller.
Lay a sheet of nori across the layer of rice.
Spoon a layer of crabmeat in a row along the bottom edge of each nori sheet.
Add thinly sliced cucumber, carrots, avocado, and other veggies according to your preference.
Roll nori sheet around the crabmeat & veggie filling, starting on the filling side until completely wrapped.
Cut each roll into 1” pieces.
Arrange on the plate and drizzle Yum-Yum sauce over the top
Notes
Edit the ingredients to fit your liking. You don't need much of the fillings.
