Ingredients
Scale
2 cups cooked sushi rice, seasoned
8 ounces imitation crab meat (surimi), shredded
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Sriracha (adjust for heat preference)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large avocado, sliced
1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced
2 green onions, thinly sliced for garnish
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the sushi rice according to package directions and season it with rice vinegar and sugar. Keep warm or let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded imitation crab meat, mayonnaise, Sriracha, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and salt. Mix gently until the crab is evenly coated in the spicy mayo sauce. This is your spicy crab salad.
Divide the seasoned rice evenly between two serving bowls to form the base.
Top the rice base in each bowl with half of the spicy crab salad mixture.
Arrange the sliced avocado and cucumber neatly over the crab mixture in each bowl.
Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately for a satisfying, homemade sushi bowl experience.
Notes
For a low-carb option, substitute the sushi rice with cauliflower rice.
You can use real crab meat instead of imitation crab if you prefer.
If you like extra tang, add a small drizzle of soy sauce or tamari over the finished bowl.
