Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Crab Sushi Roll
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of mayonnaise and 1-2 tablespoons of sriracha, whisking until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 6 ounces of shredded imitation crab meat.
- Take a medium cucumber and peel it, then slice it into thin, long strips, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Set a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, in the center of the mat.
- With wet fingers, grab 3/4 cup of cooked and cooled sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
- In the center of the rice-covered nori, spoon a quarter of the crab salad and lay several strips of cucumber.
- Starting from the edge closest to you, use the bamboo mat to gently lift and roll the sushi away from you, tucking in the filling as you go.
- Once rolled, wrap the sushi roll tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- Using a sharp, wet knife, slice your sushi roll into 8 equal pieces without pressing down too hard.
