For the Sushi Rice

- 1.25 cups water
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
For the Bowl
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 4 ounces imitation crab meat, shredded
- 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- Combine the rice and water in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for about 20 minutes.
- Once the rice is tender, remove it from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt; heat in the microwave for about 10 seconds to dissolve.
- Transfer the rested rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture.
Assembly
- Start with a scoop of seasoned sushi rice at the bottom of your bowl.
- Layer on the sliced avocado and julienned cucumber, and top with shredded imitation crab meat.
- Finish with a sprinkle of sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serving
- Drizzle soy sauce over your bowl just before serving. Add pickled ginger or a splash of sriracha for extra flavor.
