Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sushi rice
- 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 8 ounces Imitation crab meat
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 4 pieces Nori sheets
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- to taste Soy sauce
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions or in a rice cooker.
While the rice cooks, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat until dissolved. Let cool.
Once the rice is cooked, spread it into a shallow dish and gradually pour the vinegar mixture over it, gently folding to mix. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Shred the imitation crab meat with your hands or a fork then combine it with mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce in a bowl. Mix well.
Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin strips. Peel and slice the avocado thinly.
Place a bamboo sushi mat on the countertop and lay a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking and take about 3/4 cup of sushi rice. Spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch strip uncovered at the top.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the rice.
Place a line of the spicy crab mixture, cucumber strips, and avocado along the center of the rice.
Lift the bamboo mat and roll it away from you, enclosing the filling and squeezing gently but firmly. Dab a little water on the nori edge to seal.
Using a sharp, wet knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces.
Repeat with remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
Serve the spicy crab roll with soy sauce for dipping.
