Creating these delightful California Roll Sushi Bowls is simple. Just follow these steps:

1. Rinse the Rice: Begin by rinsing the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

2. Cook the Rice: In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed rice and 2 ½ cups of water. Cook according to your rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then simmer on low until tender (around 15-20 minutes).

3. Prepare the Sushi Vinegar: In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat until dissolved. Take off heat.

4. Combine Rice and Vinegar: Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Gently fold in the sushi vinegar mixture until evenly coated. Allow the rice to cool slightly.

5. Slice the Vegetables: While the rice is cooling, slice the cucumber and avocado into thin strips.

6. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the sushi rice among bowls, layering it as the base.

7. Add Toppings: Top each bowl with sliced cucumber, avocado, crab meat, and green onions.

8. Sprinkle Sesame Seeds: Finish by sprinkling sesame seeds on top for added flavor and crunch.

9. Serve with Soy Sauce: Drizzle soy sauce over the bowls and serve with wasabi and pickled ginger, if desired.
