In medium saucepan, add water and rice. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium high and cook rice until the water is absorbed (about 30 minutes)
When the rice is cooked, add to a medium bowl and cool slightly, about 30 minutes.
When just slightly warm, add the mirin and rice vinegar and stir to combine.
Prepare Salad Ingredients
Peel the avocado and chop into small pieces and place in a medium bowl.
Cut or shred crab sticks into small, bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl.
Peel and cut up the jicama into small matchstick shapes or tiny dice.
Add rice to the bowl with crab and vegetables.
Just before serving, sprinkle the sesame seeds over the salad.
Notes
Ingredient Tip: Choose Japanese sushi rice or regular medium-grain rice. Mirin is a Japanese cooking wine and can usually be found in Asian grocery stores or the international aisle of larger grocery stores. Substitute artificial crab sticks for lump crabmeat for a more economical option.
