Ingredients
½ sheet Nori (dried seaweed sheet)
1 crab stick
3 slices of avocados, 5mm thick
5g Tobiko (flying fish caviar)

Place the nori on a bamboo mat and spread the vinegared rice over the whole surface of the nori. Place some Clingfilm on the bamboo mat and flip the nori onto it so that it is facing upwards. Place the crab stick and avocado slices in a line along the top of the nori and roll the mat away from you. Make sure the shape of the roll is firm and peel the Clingfilm off.
