Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice I used Mahatma sushi rice from Kroger
- 2 cup cold water
- 5 Tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar
- 8 oz. imitation crab meat, chopped
- 1 large avocado, diced more or less
- 1/2 English cucumber, sliced more or less
- 1 small carrot, grated
- 1-2 nori sheet, crumbled (optional)
- 1 Tbsp. black sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp. siracha sauce
- low sodium soy sauce for serving
Instructions
- Rinse rice in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Don't skip this step.
- Pour rinsed rice into a medium size saucepan and add cold water. Heat over medium high heat until it comes to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to simmer for 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and rice is fully cooked. Set aside to cool.
- In a small mixing bowl stir mayonnaise and siracha until combined. Set aside.
- Once rice has had a chance to cool completely, pour vinegar over rice and stir to combine.
- To assemble the bowl, divide rice between 4 bowls and top with crab, cucumber, avocado, carrots, and crumbled nori.
- Top with sesame seeds and spicy mayo. Serve with a side of soy sauce if desired. Enjoy!
