Ingredients
Scale
1 cup of quinoa, rinsed and drained
2 cups of water
1 lb of crab meat (cooked, lump or imitation)
1 avocado, thinly sliced
1 cucumber, julienned
4 sheets of nori (seaweed)
2 tablespoons of mayonnaise (preferably Kewpie)
1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
1 teaspoon of sugar
Salt to taste

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
Transfer the cooked quinoa to a mixing bowl, add rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, and mix well.
Prepare your fillings by slicing the avocado and julienning the cucumber.
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat and spread a thin layer of quinoa over it, leaving about an inch at the top edge.
Lay down a line of crab meat followed by cucumber and avocado slices in the center of the quinoa-covered nori.
Roll the sushi away from you using the bamboo mat, applying even pressure to seal it.
Slice with a sharp, wet knife into bite-sized pieces and serve with wasabi and soy sauce.
