Crab & Yellowtail Roll Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl.

2. 2

   Season the Rice

   In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the warm rice and gently fold to combine. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Prepare the Filling

   In a mixing bowl, combine the diced yellowtail and sriracha sauce. Mix well to coat the fish.

4. 4

   Make the Crab Topping

   In another bowl, mix the shredded imitation crab meat with mayonnaise until well combined.

5. 5

   Assemble the Rolls

   Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Layer the yellowtail mixture, avocado slices, and tempura flakes in the center of the rice.

6. 6

   Roll the Sushi

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

7. 7

   Cut the Roll

   Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for a clean finish.

8. 8

   Add Toppings

   Top each sushi piece with a small amount of the crab mixture and a sprinkle of tobiko.

9. 9

   Serve

   Serve the rolls with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
