Ingredients:
- 2 cups (300g) short-grain sushi rice
- 2 ½ cups (600ml) water
- 3 tbsp (45ml) rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (6g) salt
- 8 oz (225g) imitation crab (kani), shredded or finely chopped
- 2 tbsp (30ml) Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 1 tbsp (15ml) low-sodium Sriracha
- 1 tsp (5ml) low-sodium soy sauce
- ½ tsp (2.5ml) toasted sesame oil
- 4 sheets roasted nori
- 1 medium (120g) cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium (150g) avocado, sliced thin
- 2 tbsp (15g) toasted sesame seeds
Instructions:
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Combine rice and water in a rice cooker or medium pot with a tight lid and cook until done.
- Transfer the hot rice to a bowl and gently fold in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt; let it cool to room temperature.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded imitation crab, Greek yogurt, Sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame oil; mix until the crab is fully coated in a thick paste.
- Place a sheet of nori on a plastic-wrapped bamboo sushi mat.
- Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking and spread a thin, even layer of seasoned rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
- Layer the spicy crab mixture, julienned cucumber, and sliced avocado in the center of the rice.
- Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly and securely.
- Using a non-serrated sharp knife, slice the roll into uniform pieces.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
