Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Soft-Shell Crab

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 180°C (350°F). Dredge the soft-shell crabs in flour, season with salt, and fry them until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Ensure the sushi rice is cooked and cooled, seasoned with rice vinegar, and ready to be used.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Roll

    Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. On the rice, layer the fried soft-shell crab, crab meat, cucumber, cream cheese, and a sprinkle of masago.

  4. 4

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

  5. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Drizzle with mayo and Nakato hot sauce before serving.
