- For the Sushi Rice: Rinse the rice under cool running water 2 or possibly 3 times; drain in a strainer for about 20 min. Combine the rice and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low. Simmer, covered, till the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed, 20 min. Combine the vinegar, sugar and salt in a bowl. Set aside. Transfer the warm rice to a bowl and quickly toss with the vinegar mix.
- For Assembly: Place a sheet of seaweed shiny-side down on a bamboo mat (Available at cookware stores and Asian markets), with the long edge toward you. Moisten your hands with water and spread a c. of Sushi Rice about 1/8-inch thick proportionately over the seaweed to the edges and the bottom and within 1 1/2 inches of the top. Across the center of the rice bed, dab a thin line of wasabi paste, about 1/4 tsp. if desired your sushi warm.
- Use 1/3 of the sushi fillings for each roll of sushi: Place some of the crab, if using, the avocado, carrot and cucumber lengthwise across the rice. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Then, holding the filling down with your fingers, lift up the mat with your thumbs and roll it over till the seaweed and rice form a tube. Press the bamboo-covered roll firmly to compress the roll sufficient to cut easily. Use the remaining ingredients to make 2 more rolls. The sushi can be refrigerated up to 4 hrs.
- To serve, wipe a sharp knife with a well-wrung damp cloth. Place a roll lengthwise on a cutting board and slice in half, crosswise. Cut each half into 4 pcs. Be careful not to saw back and forth, or possibly else the roll will fall apart. Repeat with the remaining rolls. Place in the bento box. Put the pickled ginger in a c. or possibly foil and put it next to the sushi.
