Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice (seasoned with 2 Tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp salt)
  • 8 ounces imitation crab meat (kani), shredded
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha (adjust for spice level)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 large avocado, diced
  • 1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
  • Optional: Nori seaweed sheets, cut into thin strips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sushi rice: In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm cooked rice. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Make the spicy crab mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded imitation crab meat, mayonnaise, Sriracha, toasted sesame oil, and soy sauce. Mix until everything is well combined and creamy.
  3. Assemble the bowls: Divide the seasoned rice evenly between two bowls. This forms your base for this easy sushi bowl at home.
  4. Top the rice with the spicy crab salad recipe mixture.
  5. Arrange the fresh toppings: Place the diced avocado and sliced cucumber neatly over the crab mixture.
  6. Garnish the bowls with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Add nori strips if using.
  7. Serve immediately for a quick Asian bowl experience.

Notes

  • For a low carb sushi bowl alternative, substitute cauliflower rice for the sushi rice.
  • To make a richer spicy mayo crab mixture, use Kewpie mayonnaise.
  • You can prepare the rice and crab mixture ahead of time for easy meal prep sushi bowl assembly later in the week.
