Description

A flavorful sushi roll filled with spicy crab mixture, creamy avocado, and crisp cucumber, wrapped in seasoned sushi rice and nori.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
  • 1 cup imitation crab meat, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 12 teaspoons sriracha sauce (to taste)
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, julienned
  • Soy sauce, for serving
  • Pickled ginger, for serving
  • Wasabi, for serving

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice until the water runs clear, then cook according to package instructions.
  2. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir into the cooked rice and let cool.
  3. In another bowl, combine shredded crab meat, mayonnaise, and sriracha to make the spicy crab mixture.
  4. Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat. Spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori.
  5. Flip the nori so the rice side is down. Add a line of spicy crab mix, avocado slices, and cucumber along one edge.
  6. Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  7. Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp, wet knife.
  8. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.

Notes

  • Use real crab meat for a richer flavor if desired.
  • Adjust sriracha quantity to your preferred spice level.
  • Keep your hands wet while handling rice to prevent sticking.
