Bring water to a boil in a medium pot; stir in rice. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Gently stir into cooked rice in the pot and set aside.

Heat nori in the preheated oven until warm, 1 to 2 minutes.
Center 1 nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Use wet hands to spread a thin layer of rice on top. Arrange 1/4 of the crabmeat, avocado, cucumber, and pickled ginger over rice in a line down the center.

Recipe Tip
If you do not have a bamboo sushi mat, the easiest way to roll sushi is with a clean dish towel.
