Step 1
Start by rinsing the rice a few times until the water runs clear. Put it in a saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Take it off the heat and let it cool down to room temperature, which should take around 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 2
Once the rice has cooled, divide everything evenly onto four plates. Begin by spreading the rice, then add the crab, followed by cucumber and avocado slices on top. Finish each plate with a drizzle of teriyaki sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy!
