Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups imitation crab meat or real crab, shredded
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (preferably Japanese Kewpie mayo)
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 avocado, sliced or diced
- 1/2 cucumber, julienned
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 1 sheet nori (seaweed), cut into small strips
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Optional toppings: pickled ginger, spicy mayo, eel sauce, or wasabi
Instructions
- Prepare sushi rice according to package directions. While still warm, mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir gently and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a bowl, combine shredded crab meat, mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce. Mix until creamy and well-coated.
- Assemble bowls by dividing sushi rice into 2–3 serving bowls.
- Top each bowl with the spicy crab mixture, avocado, cucumber, and shredded carrots.
- Garnish with nori strips, sesame seeds, and green onions.
- Drizzle with spicy mayo or eel sauce if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use brown rice or cauliflower rice for a lighter option.
- For extra crunch, add crispy fried onions or tempura flakes on top.
- Make it vegetarian by swapping crab for tofu or imitation vegan crab.
- Best served fresh, but components can be prepped ahead and assembled before serving.
