- 4 nori half sheets
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 8 pieces imitation crab
- 1 cucumber cut into matchsticks, small

- Season the cooked sushi rice with the rice vinegar, fanning and stirring until it reaches room temperature.
- Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo rolling mat covered with plastic wrap, rough side facing up.
- Wet your hands and spread a handful of rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1/4-inch border at the top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Flip the nori and rice over so the nori is facing up.
- Arrange imitation crab, cucumber, and avocado in a horizontal row about 1 inch from the bottom.
- Using the bamboo mat, roll the nori over the filling, squeezing gently to form a tight roll.
