- Thinly slice the avocado and spread it out so it spans about half the length of the roll. Seperate the avocado into sets of ~3 slices each. Top the roll by alternating a set of avocado slices and then a piece of ebi, slightly overlapping, until the whole roll is covered. Remove the tails from the ebi before using if desired.

- Place the roll on a cutting board and grab your sharpest knife. Optionally, cover the roll with plastic cling wrap. Run the knife under water for a second, then shake off any excess. Cut the roll into 8 equal pieces using a gentile sawing motion with the knife, running the knife under the water between every 2-3 cuts to prevent sticking. (click for guide)
