This was the first time I’ve ever used imitation crab meat. I’ve always cooked with the real stuff. But since a small tin is currently $40, I was willing to give the faux stuff a try. Its absolutely delicious and easy to cook with. Make sure you buy the crab legs for shredding.

You can use any rice in this recipe – doesn’t have to be sushi rice. You can skip the crab meat too if you like and just salmon. The Kewpie mayo can also be substituted with any type of mayo you like. And the Sriracha can be subbed with any hot sauce you have on hand.

    If I don’t use the crab meat (allergy), do I use additional salmon for this layer? Looking forward to making this… We LOVE all your recipes! <3

    This looks very good. What could I use for a keto/ low carb substitute for the rice ? Would cauliflower rice work in this recipe?

    Love this recipe! Only change I made is to buy the prepared “Sticky rice” and add the vinegar mixture to it. Will make again but will probably 1/2 it next time! It makes A LOT!

    My partner and I LOVE this. She doesn’t like spicy food so I make half with the spicy mayo and the other half I make a dill sauce (basically just use dill, garlic salt & a splash of lemon juice in place of the siracha) and use it the same. Both options are so good!!
