Preparation of Ingredients

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Slice it thinly into rounds or julienne it for a different presentation.

  3. 3

    Mix the Crab Filling

    In a medium bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, mashed avocado, sliced cucumber, nori seasoning, and spicy mayo. Gently fold the ingredients together until well mixed. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

    Toast the Brioche Buns

    Lightly toast the brioche buns on a skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.
