     Yield: 5 Dozen

     2 c  Sushi rice; rinsed &

     2 c  Water
   1/4 c  Rice vinegar
     2 tb Sugar
   1/2 ts Salt
     2 tb Sesame seeds; toasted

MMMMM--------------------------OPTIONAL-------------------------------
          Soy sauce
          Prepared wasabi
          Pickled ginger slices

 In a large saucepan, combine rice and water; let stand
 for 30 minutes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low;
 cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until water is
 absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from the heat. Let
 stand, covered, for 10 minutes.

 Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar and
 salt, stirring until sugar is dissolved.

 Transfer rice to a large shallow bowl; drizzle with
 vinegar mixture. With a wooden paddle or spoon, stir
 rice with a slicing motion to cool slightly. Cover with
 a damp cloth to keep moist. (Rice mixture may be made up
 to 2 hours ahead and stored at room temperature, covered
 with a damp towel. Do not refrigerate.)

 Sprinkle toasted and black sesame seeds onto a plate;
 set aside. Place sushi mat on a work surface so mat
 rolls away from you; line with plastic wrap. Place 3/4
 cup rice on plastic. With moistened fingers, press rice
 into an 8" square. Top with 1 nori sheet.

 Arrange a small amount of cucumber, crab and avocado
 about 1 1/2" from bottom edge of nori sheet. Roll up
 rice mixture over filling, using the bamboo mat to lift
 and compress the mixture while rolling; remove plastic
 wrap as you roll.

 Remove mat; roll sushi rolls in sesame seeds. Cover with
 plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make
 8 rolls. Cut each into 8 pieces. Serve with soy sauce,
 wasabi and ginger slices if desired.
