Kaiten Sushi California Roll

I normally stay away from kaiten sushi or conveyor-belt
sushi restaurants, since the quality can be iffy.
California roll is one of the most popular sushi rolls in the world.
Since typical sushi rolls are rolled in dried seaweed,
many people who aren't used to eat dried seaweed
tend to have hard time to bite sushi rolls.
This is one reason that california rolls
are made inside-out, so it's easy to bite.

Ingredients:
4 cups sushi rice, cooked
4 sheets of nori (dried seaweed)
1 avocado
3/4 cup crab meat
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:
Peel an avocado and cut it into strips or mash it.
Put imitation crab in a bowl and mix with salt and mayonnaise.
Cover a bamboo mat with plastic wrap.
Put a sheet of dried seaweed on top of the mat.
Spread sushi rice on top of the seaweed and press firmly.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sushi rice.
Turn the sushi layer over so that the seaweed is on top.
Place avocado and crab lengthwise on the seaweed.
Roll the bamboo mat forward, pressing the ingredients
inside the cylinder-shaped sushi.
Press firmly the bamboo mat with hands,
then remove the rolled sushi.
Cut the sushi roll into bite-size pieces.
