How to Make Crab Sushi Rolls
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and lay a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down.
Wet your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking. Spread a thin layer of cooked sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of the nori sheet uncovered at the top.
Arrange the crab salad and any other fillings (avocado, cucumber, etc.) horizontally across the center of the nori sheet on top of the rice.
Using the bamboo mat, tightly roll the sushi away from you, starting from the edge closest to you. Apply gentle pressure to shape the roll.
Use a sharp, wet knife to slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife clean between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Notes
Shred the crab into fine shreds if using it to make sushi rolls. Otherwise, you can shred it into whatever sized pieces you prefer.
You can substitute regular mayonnaise for kewpie mayonnaise if needed.
Use more sriracha to make spicy mayo with more spice, and less or none for low to no spice.
Substitute with any kind of cooked or raw fish you like, as long as you use fresh.
Mix in avocado, cucumber or carrot shreds, or pieces of radish to either the salad or in the sushi rolls is you are making them.
