Scale
Proteins:

- 1/2 pound (226 grams) imitation crab meat
Rice and Base:
- 2 cups (400 grams) sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups (590 milliliters) water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Vegetables and Toppings:
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) panko breadcrumbs, toasted
- 1 sheet nori, cut into thin strips
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
Instructions
- Thoroughly rinse sushi rice under cold water until liquid becomes transparent, eliminating excess starch.
- Transfer rice to saucepan with precise water measurement, heating to boiling point, then reduce temperature to low, covering and simmering for 18-20 minutes until grains are tender.
- Craft seasoning blend by whisking rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until completely dissolved, creating a harmonious flavor profile.
- Once rice completes cooking, gently fold vinegar mixture into warm grains, allowing mixture to absorb and rice to cool slightly.
- Prepare spicy mayo by blending mayonnaise and sriracha, creating a vibrant, zesty sauce with balanced heat.
- Skillfully prepare toppings: slice cucumber into delicate matchsticks, fan avocado into elegant segments, and chop imitation crab into bite-sized morsels.
- Distribute seasoned rice evenly across serving bowls as foundational layer.
- Artfully arrange shrimp, imitation crab, cucumber, and avocado atop rice, creating visually appealing composition.
- Drizzle bowl with soy sauce and sesame oil, enhancing umami undertones.
- Crown the creation with dollop of spicy mayo, adding creamy, tangy dimension.
- Finish by sprinkling toasted panko breadcrumbs and sesame seeds, introducing delightful crunch and nutty essence.
Notes
- Rinse rice thoroughly to remove excess starch, ensuring fluffy and separated grains that prevent clumping.
- Experiment with brown rice for a whole-grain twist, offering more fiber and nutrients while maintaining similar texture.
- Control spice levels in sriracha mayo by gradually adding hot sauce, allowing personalized heat intensity for different taste preferences.
- Toast panko breadcrumbs carefully to achieve maximum crunchiness without burning, providing perfect textural contrast to soft rice and creamy ingredients.
