I use traditional sushi rice and I rinse the rice till the water is clear.

• I then soak the rice of 30 minutes before cooking.
• In a medium saucepan bring soaked rice and water to boil.

• Remove from heat with lid still on and let steam for 20 minutes.

• Place the nori sheet at the end of the mat.
• Add a small hand full of sushi rice on the nori sheet, leaving space on either side..

• In a bowl mix your crab meat ground mustard and mayo.
• (OPTIONAL) I add a little bit of fish seasoning salt and chili pepper sauce (aka sriracha) for a nice kick
