Directions

Step 1

Wrap a sushi rolling mat completely in plastic wrap and set aside.

Step 2

Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low cover and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer rice to a bowl and cut in rice vinegar using a rice paddle or wooden spoon. Season with 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt or to taste. Allow to cool to room temperature about 30 minutes.

Step 3

Combine crab meat with mayonnaise in a small bowl.

Step 4

Place a sheet of nori on a flat work surface. Spread a thin layer of rice on top of the nori. Place the nori rice side down on the prepared rolling mat. Place 2 to 3 avocado slices on top of the nori in one layer. Top with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the crab mixture. Spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons tobiko lengthwise on one side of the avocado-crab mixture and 2 cucumber strips on the other side. Using the mat as a guide carefully roll the California roll into a tight log. Remove the rolling mat. Top roll with more tobiko cover with plastic wrap and gently press the tobiko into the top of the roll. Remove the plastic and cut roll into 6 even pieces using a wet knife. Repeat with remaining sheets of nori and filling. Serve garnished with pickled ginger soy sauce and wasabi paste
