Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice (seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt)
  • 8 ounces imitation crab meat (surimi), shredded
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 medium cucumber, diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sushi rice: Mix 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Warm slightly until dissolved. Toss this mixture with the warm cooked rice until fully combined. Let cool slightly.
  2. Make the spicy crab mix: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded imitation crab meat, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Mix gently until the crab is evenly coated.
  3. Assemble the bowls: Divide the seasoned rice evenly between two serving bowls. This forms your base layer.
  4. Top the rice: Arrange the spicy crab mixture, diced cucumber, and sliced avocado neatly over the rice in separate sections within the bowl.
  5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the bowls with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately for the best texture.

Notes

  • For a lower-carb option, substitute the sushi rice with cauliflower rice.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, use Kewpie mayonnaise in the spicy crab mix.
  • You can prepare the rice and the spicy crab mix ahead of time for quick assembly later.
