California roll – roll the sushi: Cover a bamboo sushi mat with plastic wrap. Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat. Wet your fingers and spread the sushi rice evenly over the nori. Arrange crab mixture, cucumber, and avocado along the bottom edge. Roll the mat tightly over the filling into a cylinder. Cover rolls with a damp cloth.

Top rolls with spicy mayo or serve on the side. Cut each California roll into 8 pieces using the same method. Serve the sushi with optional wasabi, pickled ginger, and soy sauce.
