Crab Temaki Recipe

Mix mayonnaise with soy sauce; reserve. Pass each sheet of nori quickly over a gas burner for a few seconds or under a broiler. Take care not to overheat or nori will shrivel. Cut sheets in half.

For each tamaki, spread 1 teaspoon flavored mayonnaise diagonally from upper corner to center of lower edge of nori. Place 3 tablespoons sushi rice along same line. Lay a piece of crab, a slice of avocado, and a piece of lettuce leaf over rice.

Roll nori around filling in a cone shape, like an ice cream cone. Repeat using remaining ingredients. If sushi is not to be served immediately, cover with damp towel. Never refrigerate sushi. Eat as soon as possible.

* Nori may be purchased in the oriental section of some supermarkets, Asian groceries and some health food stores.
