Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked sushi rice (seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt)
  • 3 oz. fresh crab meat (you can also use immitation)
  • 1 tbsp light mayo
  • 1 tsp sriracha sauce (or any other spicy sauce)
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • ½ avocado, sliced
  • 10-12 cucumber slices
  • some nori (seaweed), torn into strips
  • ½ tsp sesame seeds
  • Soy sauce, for drizzling (adjust to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Ensure the crab meat is well-drained and free of any shells or cartilage. If using imitation crab meat, you can shred it into smaller pieces with your fingers or a fork.
  • In a small bowl, combine light mayonnaise, sriracha sauce and soy sauce. Mix well until smooth. Gently fold the crab meat into the spicy mayo mixture. Be careful not to overmix; you want to maintain the flaky texture of the crab meat.
  • In a bowl, mix the seasoned sushi rice with the torn nori. Place it into a serving bowl as the base. Arrange sliced avo and cucumbers on top of the sushi rice. Spoon the prepared spicy crab salad on top of the sushi bowl.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and drizzle with soy sauce. Garnish with additional nori and enjoy!
