Method

In a small bowl, combine the wasabi powder with 2 tablespoons of water, plus more as needed to make a loose paste. Set aside.

Place 1 nori sheet on a flat surface with shiny side down and coarse side up.  

Spread 1 portion of the rice evenly over nori going all the way to the left and right edges, but leaving a 1-inch border on the edge closest to you and a 2-inch border on the top.  

Spread about 1/4 teaspoon of wasabi paste across the center of rice, from side to side. 

Arrange 2 tablespoons of the crab, 1/4 of the cucumber, 2 slices of the avocado and 1 teaspoon of the sesame seeds over wasabi. 

Fold bottom of nori toward the center, just so the ingredients are covered. 

Roll into a cylinder, and seal the roll by placing 4 grains of rice along the top edge of the nori and press together. 

Slice roll into 4 pieces. 

Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 3 rolls, and then cut each roll into four pieces each to make 16 pieces total.
