Rinse sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear.

Cook sushi rice according to package instructions, then let cool slightly.

Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.

Fold the vinegar mixture into the cooled rice gently, being careful not to mash the grains.

Place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat.

Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Arrange spicy crab, avocado, spicy tuna, salmon, and any other fillings in a line across the rice.

Using the mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you, pressing gently to form a cylinder.

Seal the edge of the nori with a little water to hold it together.

Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife, wiping it clean between cuts.

Serve with spicy mayo and eel sauce on the side.
