Step 1: Cook the Sushi Rice – Rinse the sushi rice under cool water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a medium saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover it, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Season the Rice – Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Fluff the rice gently and drizzle the mixture on top, stirring to coat each grain.
Step 3: Prepare the Fillings – Chop the imitation crab meat into small pieces and mix with cucumber, avocado, cream cheese, and green onions in a bowl.
