Over the years my love for sushi has grown exponentially. My first experience with sushi was in the form of a California roll, which consists of crab, avocado, and cucumber. The flavor combo is pretty great and while I do not order California rolls anymore because I prefer something a little more authentic with raw fish inside or on top, the flavors of a California roll never bore me. This dish is basically an open-faced California roll with a kick, it is easy to make since imitation crab can be bought anywhere and everywhere and is so cheap, especially in comparison to any other seafood. This is definitely a delicious dish that requires not much effort at all…give it a try!
Ingredients:
8 oz package of imitation crab meat, flaked
2 Tbsp mayonnaise (we use Japanese mayo)
2 tsp Sriracha hot sauce (you can use more or less for your desired spicy-ness)
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
3-4 cups sushi rice (Calrose), cooked
1/2 cup nori (seaweed), crumbled (the seaweed snack pack from Trader Joe’s works great for this)
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
1/4 cucumber, chopped
1 avocado, sliced
Directions:
- In a bowl, combine the flaked crab meat, mayonnaise, Sriracha, and green onion and mix until all the ingredients are evenly mixed and coated. Set aside.
- Mix together the rice, nori, and sesame seeds until evenly distributed.
- Assemble bowl into four portions with rice combo on bottom, then cucumber, then crab salad, and topped with avocado. Serve and enjoy!
