- 1 tsp (5 mL) granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt

DIRECTIONS
- Place rice in fine sieve; rinse under cold running water until water runs clear. In small saucepan, combine rice and 1 cup (250 mL) water; bring to simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Combine vinegar, sugar and salt; stir into rice. Let cool completely. Meanwhile, stir together cream cheese and ginger in small bowl.
- Place tortillas on clean work surface. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla; top with rice, crab, avocado and cucumbers. Roll up tightly; cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi and additional pickled ginger.
Tip: If you like, substitute cooked shrimp or salmon for the crab meat.
