  • Imitation crab– You can use real crab meat if you’d rather but the imitation works perfectly in this.
  • Cream cheese– Softened to room temperature first
  • Mayo– Kewpie mayo. Don’t substitute it. It has a distinct flavor you’ll want for this.
  • Sriracha– Again don’t substitute a different hot sauce.
  • Sushi rice– Cooked according to the directions on the package.
  • Vinegar– Rice vinegar
  • Furikake seasoning– A Japanese seasoning blend you can buy online
  • Green onions– Sliced
  • Nori– For serving

Set the mixture aside.

Tips and Tricks

  • If you don’t want it to have a kick, you can reduce the amount of sriracha.
  • The kewpie mayo is really important in this. Substituting a different brand will really change the flavor of the dish. I don’t recommend this.
  • You can serve the finished dish on pieces of cucumber or avocado for a sort of California roll experience.

    This recipe is fantastic! I highly recommend it. Easy to follow. I didn’t want left over cream cheese so I did a whole block of cream cheese and a bit more imitation crab. I also added chopped up cooked shrimp and salmon to it. Brought it to a party and it was a hit! Saving this recipe for future use
