Guidelines: step by step
First, prepare the sushi rice.
- Use cold water to rinse the sushi rice until the water flows clear.
- Put the rice and water in a pot, cover, and bring to a boil. After that, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Combine salt, sugar, and rice vinegar in a small basin. For the sugar and salt to dissolve, microwave for about 30 seconds.
- Gently stir the vinegar mixture into the cooked rice when it has finished cooking. Allow it to cool down a little.
Step 2: Make the Crab Concoction
- Shred the crab meat or imitation crab in a basin.
- To produce a creamy crab salad, combine it with Japanese mayonnaise and sriracha, if using.
Step 3: Put the Sushi Bowl Together
- Fill each bowl to the brim with sushi rice.
- Arrange the pickled ginger, nori strips, cucumber, avocado, and crab salad on top.
- For crunch, top with a handful of tempura flakes and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Step 4: Include garnishes and drizzles
- Top the bowl with desired amounts of spicy mayonnaise, soy sauce, and eel sauce.
- If preferred, garnish with more sriracha for more heat and chopped green onions.
Tips: – Tempura Flakes: You can make your own by frying panko breadcrumbs or tempura batter bits until crispy if store-bought tempura flakes are unavailable.
- Substitutions: For variation, feel free to use various proteins such as salmon, tuna, or shrimp tempura.
- Free of Gluten: If needed, use gluten-free soy sauce and gluten-free imitation crab.
