Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons Japanese mayonnaise, such as Kewpie (see Cook's Note)
2 shiso leaves, finely chopped (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons grated English cucumber
6 ounces cooked Dungeness crabmeat, picked through for bits of shell or cartilage
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 half sheets sushi nori
2 cups prepared sushi rice
1 medium avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1 English cucumber, seeded and cut into sticks about 1/8 inch thick and 4 inches long
1 to 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds, optional
Soy sauce, for serving, optional
Pickled ginger, for serving, optional
Wasabi, for serving, optional

Steps:

For the shiso mayo: Stir together the mayonnaise, shiso and cucumber in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the roll: Gently squeeze the crabmeat to drain out any excess moisture and place in a medium bowl. Add the lemon juice, mix and set aside.
Lay a half nori sheet textured-side up (smooth/shiny-side down) on a cutting board with one of the longer sides closest to you. Moisten your fingers with ice water and gently spread 1/2 cup of the prepared sushi rice evenly over most of the nori, leaving a 1-inch strip without rice on one short edge. Rotate the nori so the short edge with rice is closest to you.
Place 1 1/2 ounces of crab in a line across the rice. Lay 2 pieces of avocado next to the crab. Lay 3 to 4 pieces of cucumber on top of the avocado slices. Make sure your roll fillings are evenly distributed across the roll-all the way to each edge. Slip your thumbs under the near edge of the nori and roll the sushi roll away from you with gentle pressure until the edge without sushi rice is on the bottom creating a seam.
Dip the tip of a knife into the ice water and allow the water to run down the blade. Slice the sushi roll into 6 even pieces. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, making 4 rolls.
Spoon some shiso mayo over the top of the sushi rolls and garnish each with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds if desired. Serve with soy sauce, ginger and wasabi if desired.
