👨‍🍳 Instructions

Slice the ends off of the cucumber, then cut into quarters lengthwise.

Thinly slice each quarter lengthwise to make spears.

Stir chopped crab sticks and mayonnaise together in a small bowl.

Lay 1 sheet of nori on a bamboo mat.

Pat a thin, even layer of rice over the nori with wet hands, leaving a 1/3-inch edge at the bottom.

Sprinkle rice with sesame seeds.

Carefully flip over.

Add 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in a line across the sheet about 1/3 of the way from the top.

Layer with 1 to 2 cucumber spears and 1 to 3 slices of avocado.

Using the bamboo mat, roll the sheet tightly into a cylinder, starting at the top edge.

Moisten the uncovered edge with water and finish rolling once you reached the bottom.
