Transfer rice to a bowl and cut in rice vinegar using a rice paddle or wooden spoon. Season with 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste. Allow to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Place a sheet of nori on a flat work surface. Spread a thin layer of rice on top of the rough side of nori. Place the nori, rice side down, on the prepared rolling mat. Place 2 to 3 avocado slices on top of the nori in one layer. Top with 2 strips tablespoons of the crab.
Roll the California roll into a tight log. Remove the rolling mat.
