Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Surimi crab (imitation crab)
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 piece Jalapeño, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, shred the surimi crab into fine strands using your hands or a fork.
Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or microwaving it for 10 seconds. Then, add it to the bowl with the shredded crab.
Add the mayonnaise, lime juice, minced jalapeño, and soy sauce to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Gently fold in the green onions, ensuring even distribution without breaking the delicate crab strands.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust lime juice, jalapeño, or soy sauce based on your preference for acidity, heat, or saltiness.
Serve immediately as a filling for sushi rolls, as a topping for crackers, or as part of a seafood-inspired appetizer platter. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
