Description

A delicious sushi roll featuring spicy crab meat, creamy avocado, and crunchy cucumber, wrapped in sushi rice and seaweed, perfect for sushi lovers who enjoy a little heat.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
  • 1 cup imitation crab meat, shredded
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cucumber, julienned
  • Soy sauce, for serving
  • Pickled ginger, for serving
  • Wasabi, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let it cool to room temperature.
  2. In a bowl, combine shredded crab meat, mayonnaise, and Sriracha to create the spicy crab mixture.
  3. Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
  4. Spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.
  5. Arrange a line of spicy crab mixture, avocado slices, and cucumber sticks across the center of the rice.
  6. Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, applying gentle pressure to form a firm roll.
  7. Wet a sharp knife with water and slice the roll into 6–8 pieces.
  8. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.

Notes

  • Use real crab meat for a more luxurious version.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha to control the heat level.
  • Keep a bowl of water nearby to wet your fingers when handling rice.
