How to cook deliciously - Alaska Roll

1. Stage

In a medium bowl, combine crab meat, mayo, and sriracha; season with salt and pepper.

2. Stage

Slice nori sheets in half crosswise so you have 4 equal rectangles. On a bamboo mat, arrange 1 nori sheet shiny side down.

3. Stage

Spoon 3/4 cup rice over nori. Using wet hands, press rice into an even layer. Slowly peel nori off mat and flip rice side down. Arrange one-quarter of crab mixture in center of nori horizontally in a straight line.

4. Stage

Place cucumber over crab mixture to form a straight line across nori. Arrange avocado next to cucumber.

5. Stage

Lift bamboo mat from the end closest to you and use it to guide edge of rice into a tight spiral. Firmly squeeze along mat to compact roll, then continue to roll in a spiral log to seal edge. Repeat to make 3 more rolls.

6. Stage

Thinly slice salmon against the grain and on a bias. Layer salmon on rolls so slices cover top and sides of roll and there are no gaps in between pieces of salmon.

7. Stage

Return roll to bamboo mat. Using mat, form salmon into a roll shape.

8. Stage

Using a sharp knife, cut rolls into pieces, wiping off any excess rice or avocado in between slices. Serve with wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce alongside.
