# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Sushi Rice

01 - 4 cups water
02 - 2 cups uncooked white rice
03 - 1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar
04 - 1 teaspoon white sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon salt

→ Alaska Roll

06 - 6 ounces krab meat sticks or cooked crab
07 - 2 tablespoons Japanese mayonnaise
08 - 4 sheets nori (dry seaweed)
09 - 1 avocado, pitted and thinly sliced
10 - 1 English cucumber, peeled, deseeded, and cut into thin strips
11 - 6 ounces sushi-grade salmon
12 - Toasted white sesame seeds

→ To Serve

13 - Pickled ginger
14 - Low sodium soy sauce
15 - Wasabi paste

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Combine water and rice in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 to 22 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
02 - Transfer cooked rice to a large bowl. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl, then gently fold into rice using a paddle or spoon. Allow to cool for 20 to 30 minutes.
03 - Wrap a bamboo sushi mat in plastic wrap to prevent sticking. Place a nori sheet on a clean surface and spread a thin, even layer of cooled rice over it.
04 - Flip the nori so rice faces down on the mat. Mix chopped krab meat with Japanese mayonnaise, spread a thin line across the center, then layer avocado slices and cucumber strips on top.
05 - Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly into a log shape. Thinly slice the salmon and drape over the roll. Press gently with the mat to adhere the salmon.
06 - Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the roll if desired. Slice the roll into six equal pieces using a sharp knife. Repeat to make a total of four rolls.
07 - Arrange sushi pieces on a plate with pickled ginger, low sodium soy sauce, and wasabi paste on the side.

# Extra Tips and Tricks:

01 - Dampen your hands with water when handling sushi rice to prevent sticking.
02 - Always use sushi-grade salmon for raw fish preparations to ensure safety.
