• In 3-quart saucepan, cook rice in water as directed on package. Spread rice in 13x9-inch baking dish, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or until completely cool.
• Meanwhile, in small microwavable bowl, mix vinegar, sugar and salt. Microwave 20 to 30 seconds; whisk until sugar is dissolved. Stir in gingerroot.
• In large bowl, toss cooled rice with vinegar mixture. Stir in cucumbers, carrots, green onions and crabmeat; mix well. Top with avocado.

Steps:

• Cook rice let cool for 5 minutes.
• While rice is cooking cut all 3 peppers into medium square pieces (about the size of your pinky finger nail).
• Cut cucumber into slices (not peeled) then cut each slice into fours.

• Also eat with pickled ginger on the side if you would like.
• It's also good if you put some steamed sliced white mushrooms into the salad as well, but it's awesome without as well.
• ENJOY.
• For Vegetarian option, do not use the crabmeat option.

Steps:

• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to a slight boil in a saucepan, about 5 minutes. Stir until dissolved and let cool 2 minutes. Pour mixture over cooked rice. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• Combine carrot, cucumber, crab sticks, ginger, water, wasabi, and oil in a bowl.
• Combine wet crab mixture with cooked rice in the serving bowl. Add avocado and nori just before serving. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

• Peel avocado and dice by hand because it's too mushy to go through the chopper.
• Add avocado to the cucumber and crab mixture.
• Add rice and mix well.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Chill at least one hour.
