Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 1 tsbp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp sugar
- Furikake
- 1 8 oz container lump crab meat
- 12 oz package imitation crab meat
- ½ cup kewpie mayonnaise
- ¼ cup plain cream cheese
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1 avocado sliced
Instructions
- First, cook rice according to package instructions (make sure to wash/rinse it before cooking!). When finished, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and a dash of salt in bowl, microwave it for 20 seconds (to dissolve the sugar). Pour over the rice along with a few dashes of furikake and gently mix it together.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese, kewpie mayonnaise, and sriracha. Then mix in the lump crab meat and imitation crab meat (can tear the imitation crab into smaller pieces before adding) and sprinkle over some extra furikake.
- In a 9x9 baking pan or casserole dish, first spread the rice evenly across the bottom. Then add the crab mixture. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, then broil it for a minute (to crisp the top). Let cool to room temperature before drizzling over some extra kewpie mayonnaise and topping with avocado slices.
- To eat, scoop bite-sized pieces onto sheets of nori and eat it similar to a small taco.
