Steps:
- In a large saucepan cover rice with water and let stand for 30 minutes.
- In a shallow dish combine soy sauce, honey and garlic. In this mixture marinate tofu for at least 30 minutes.
- Bring water and rice to a boil and then reduce heat; simmer for about 20 minutes, or until thick and sticky. In a large glass bowl combine cooked rice with rice vinegar.
- Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat. Working with wet hands, spread 1/4 of the rice evenly over the nori; leave about 1/2 inch on the top edge of the nori. Place 2 strips of marinated tofu end to end about 1 inch from the bottom. Place 2 strips of cucumber next to the tofu, then avocado and carrot.
- Roll nori tightly from the bottom, using the mat to help make a tight roll. Seal by moistening with water the 1/2 inch at the top. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Slice with a serrated knife into 1 inch thick slices.

Steps:
- Combine rice and water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and cook in the microwave for 8 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before removing bowl from the microwave. Uncover rice and stir in vinegar using a wooden spoon; rice will become sticky.
- Slice avocado into long sticks. Cut cream cheese into long sticks. Open crab legs and separate them. Cut 5 crab legs in half and pair each with a full leg to have 10 sets.
- Lay 1 nori sheet on a dry cutting board. Use wet hands to scoop a handful of cooled rice onto 1/2 the sheet closest to you. Place cream cheese, avocado, and crab on the center of the rice, extending all the way across the nori. roll nori up, starting at the rice end and ending on the plain end; use wet hands to seal, if necessary. Place roll seam-side down on a separate cutting board. Repeat with remaining nori, rice, and fillings.
- Use a large knife to cut 1 roll in half; line up halves, and cut each into 3 pieces. Repeat with remaining rolls for a total of 60 pieces. Wipe the knife on a towel in between slices. Serve with wasabi and ginger.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh fish, vegetables, and nori sheets are essential for making great sushi rolls. Look for fish that is sushi-grade and has a vibrant color and firm texture. Vegetables should be crisp and fresh, and nori sheets should be crisp and free of tears.
- Prepare your ingredients properly: Fish should be cut into thin slices against the grain. Vegetables should be cut into thin strips or julienned. Nori sheets should be cut into 6-inch squares.
- Use the right amount of rice: The amount of rice you use will depend on the size of your sushi rolls. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1/4 cup of rice per roll.
- Spread the rice evenly: When spreading the rice on the nori sheet, make sure to spread it evenly so that it covers the entire sheet. This will help to prevent the rice from falling out of the roll when you cut it.
- Roll the sushi rolls tightly: When rolling the sushi rolls, make sure to roll them tightly so that they hold their shape. You can use a bamboo sushi mat to help you roll the rolls.
- Cut the sushi rolls carefully: When cutting the sushi rolls, use a sharp knife and cut them into even slices. This will help to prevent the rolls from falling apart.
