Sushi vinegar is an important ingredient which you can buy from nearby stationery store. Or you can prepare it in your home itself by mixing vinegar, sugar and salt into a pan in low heat until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Pour this made up sushi vinegar over cooked rice and mix it gently. You can do this in a wooden bowl for making sushi rice or in your rice cooker by turning off the cooker and pouring the vinegar and mixing gently and evenly and leaving it until it cools down to room temperature. Make sure that the lid is left open. Cover a makisu with plastic wrap. Place half of a sheet of the seaweed over the plastic on the mat. Place a handful of rice across the seaweed and spread it evenly over the seaweed. Toss the imitation crab with the mayonnaise in a small bowl.
