Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Imitation crab meat or real crab meat
- 4 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Sriracha
- 1 medium Cucumber (julienned)
- 1 medium Avocado (sliced thin)
- 4 sheets Nori (seaweed sheets)
- 1 tsp Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce or tamari (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sriracha. Mix thoroughly until you have a creamy, spicy filling. Adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less sriracha, as desired.
Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a sushi mat or a clean, flat surface. Position the sheet so that it’s horizontal in front of you.
Spread a thin, even layer of the crab filling over the bottom third of the nori sheet.
On top of the filling, arrange julienned cucumber and thin slices of avocado in a horizontal line across the crab mixture.
Using the sushi mat (or your hands, if you don’t have a mat), carefully roll the nori sheet tightly over the filling, pressing gently to form a log. Seal the edge by dampening the end of the nori sheet with a little water.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and filling to create 3 additional rolls.
With a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, about 6-8 pieces per roll. Wipe the blade with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Sprinkle the rolls with toasted sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Serve the low-carb spicy crab rolls with soy sauce or tamari on the side for dipping, if desired. Enjoy immediately!
