Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked short-grain white rice, seasoned with rice vinegar mixture
- 8 ounces imitation crab meat (surimi), shredded
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1 medium 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: Mix 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Warm slightly until dissolved. Toss the warm cooked rice with the vinegar mixture until evenly coated. Let cool slightly.
- Make the spicy crab mix: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded imitation crab, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Mix gently until the crab is evenly coated in the spicy sauce.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the seasoned rice evenly between two serving bowls. This forms the base of your deconstructed sushi.
- Top the rice with the spicy crab mixture, arranging it neatly over one section of the rice.
- Arrange the fresh toppings around the bowl: place the sliced avocado and cucumber next to the crab mixture.
- Garnish the bowls with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately for a quick lunch or dinner idea.
Notes
- For a low-carb option, substitute the sushi rice with cauliflower rice.
- To make a quick spicy mayo, mix 3 parts mayonnaise to 1 part Sriracha.
- You can add a drizzle of eel sauce or extra soy sauce over the finished bowl for added flavor.
