Chef's Tips

  • Use warm rice when mixing with vinegar for best absorption.
  • Real crab or cooked shrimp can replace imitation crab.
  • Adjust sriracha to your heat preference.
  • This is meant to be scooped onto nori sheets like a DIY hand roll.
  • Leftovers reheat well in the oven.
  • Add cucumber, avocado, or edamame on top before serving for freshness.
