- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions

2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded kani with the Japanese mayonnaise.
3. Add the Sriracha sauce (if using), salt, sugar, and rice vinegar to the bowl.
4. Mix everything thoroughly until the kani is evenly coated with the mayonnaise mixture and the flavors are well combined.
5. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, sugar, or Sriracha as desired.
6. If using sesame seeds, sprinkle them over the kani mixture for added texture and a nutty flavor.
7. Use the kani filling immediately as a sushi filling for California rolls or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
