Crowd favourite rainbow roll showcases its best assets by flipping inside out and presenting four colourful varieties of seafood on a blanket of rice. Mild flavours make this a perfect roll for sushi fans transitioning to sashimi. Beauty tips for assembly: keeping the plastic wrap on the roll until after it is cut holds the ingredients together.
Ingredients
1 1/3 cups uncooked sushi rice
2 sheet of nori cut in half into 7 1/2 by 4” sheets
1 cucumber, sliced into four strips measuring 7 1/2” long and 1/2” wide

four portions. - Evenly spread a large handful of rice on a sheet of nori then flip over, with the rice side facing down on a sushi rolling mat covered with a layer of plastic wrap.
- Place cucumber strip in the centre. Place 1/4 of the mayonnaise and two pieces of avocado alongside the cucumber. Sprinkle 1/4 of the crab meat on top.
