• juice from 1/2 lemon
• 1 medium avocado
• 4 sheets nori
• 1/2 batch of sushi rice
• shrimp (if desired)
• 1/3 cup sesame seeds, toasted
• 1 small cucumber
• crabsticks
• pickled ginger, wasabi, soy sauce for serving

1. Squeeze lemon juice over avocado to prevent browning
2. Lay nori shiny side down on rolling mat
3. Wet fingers with water and spread rice on rough side of nori
4. sprinkle rice with sesame seeds
5. place cucumber, avocado, and crab sticks in center
6. roll tightly

Notes:

• Should try cutting the Nori sheets to about 75-80% of their size
• Adding shrimp is good
