▢ 1 cup sushi rice, uncooked
▢ 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
▢ 1 teaspoon sugar
▢ 1 cup imitation crab meat, shredded
▢ 1/2 avocado, diced
▢ 1/2 cucumber, diced

▢ 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
▢ 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
▢ 1 teaspoon soy sauce, or to taste

2. While rice is still warm, gently fold in rice vinegar and sugar until well mixed.
3. Dice avocado and cucumber.
4. In a bowl, combine imitation crab, cucumber, avocado, seaweed salad, mayonnaise, and optional sriracha. Gently mix to coat without breaking up the ingredients too much.

7. Finish with a drizzle of soy sauce and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Make it gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce.
Swap imitation crab with real crab or cooked shrimp for a protein boost.
Customize with shredded carrots, pickled ginger, or sliced radish.
