Crab, avocado and sushi rice topped and baked with spicy crab salad and jumbo lump crabmeat; drizzled with spicy mayo, sushi sauce, tempura crunch, green onions

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes. Once cooked, let it sit for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Prepare Sushi Rice

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm sushi rice and let it cool.

Season Rice

In a bowl, combine the imitation crab meat, sriracha, and mayonnaise. Mix well to create the spicy crab salad.

Prepare Spicy Crab Salad

On a bamboo sushi mat, spread a layer of sushi rice evenly. Place slices of avocado and a layer of jumbo lump crab meat on top. Roll tightly using the mat, then transfer to a baking dish.

Assemble the Roll

Spread the spicy crab salad evenly over the top of the rolled sushi.

Top with Spicy Crab Salad

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the assembled roll for about 10-15 minutes, or until the topping is heated through and slightly golden.
