Ingredients:
– 8 oz imitation crab meat, shredded
– 1/4 cup mayonnaise
– 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
– 1 teaspoon soy sauce
– 2 cups sushi rice, cooked and seasoned
– 4 nori seaweed sheets
– 1 ripe avocado, sliced thinly
– 1 small cucumber, sliced into thin strips
– Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
– Sushi rolling mat
Instructions:
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded imitation crab meat, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and soy sauce. Mix well and set aside.
2. Lay out your sushi rolling mat on a clean surface. Place one nori sheet on top of the mat, with the rough side facing up.
3. Wet your hands with cold water to prevent the rice from sticking to them. Spread about half a cup of sushi rice evenly over the bottom two-thirds of the nori sheet, leaving about an inch of space at both sides for sealing the roll later.
4. Arrange a quarter of the spicy crab mixture in a horizontal line on top of the rice near the edge closest to you. Layer some avocado slices and cucumber strips beside it.
5. Now it’s time to roll! Grip the edge of the sushi mat that’s closest to you with your thumb and index finger while holding onto the filling ingredients with your other fingers. Gently fold the mat over so that the edge of the nori seaweed touches down just past the filling ingredients, covering them in rice and seaweed.
6. Apply gentle pressure to the sushi roll to create a tight cylinder, then use the mat to continue rolling the sushi roll forward while applying even pressure. Seal the edges with a bit of water.
7. Set the completed roll aside and continue this process for the remaining rolls.
8. Once all rolls are made, use a sharp knife to cut each roll into six to eight evenly-sized pieces. Wipe your knife clean and dampen it with water after each cut for smoother slicing.
9. Serve your delicious spicy crab rolls with soy sauce and wasabi on the side, garnished with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
Now you know how to make perfectly scrumptious spicy crab rolls at home! Whether you’re hosting a party or simply treating yourself to some homemade sushi, this recipe is sure to satisfy your taste buds. Happy rolling!
