Steps

1

Wrap a sushi rolling mat completely in plastic wrap and set aside.
2

Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Allow to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
3

Place a sheet of nori on a flat work surface. Spread a thin layer of rice on top of the rough side of nori. Place the nori, rice side down, on the prepared rolling mat. Place 2 to 3 avocado slices on top of the nori in one layer. Top with 2 strips tablespoons of the crab.
4

Roll the California roll into a tight log. Remove the rolling mat.
