Ingredients
- 6 oz. surimi (imitation crab)
- 3 tbsp. mayonnaise (preferably Kewpie)
- 2 tbsp. sriracha
- 1/4 tsp. ground cayenne (optional)
- 4 toasted nori sheets
- 3 c. sushi rice, divided
- 1 Persian cucumber, peeled and julienned, divided
- 1 bunch of chives, divided
-
Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions:
- Pull surimi into long, thin strands and transfer to a medium bowl. Add mayonnaise, sriracha, and cayenne, if using, and mix well to combine.
- On a bamboo mat, arrange 1 nori sheet shiny side down. Spoon 3/4 cup rice over nori. Using wet hands, press rice into an even layer on nori, leaving the top 20% uncovered. Arrange one-quarter of surimi mixture in center of rice horizontally in a straight line. Arrange one-quarter of cucumber and one-quarter of chives over surimi mixture.
- Lift bamboo mat from end closest to you and use it to guide edge of rice into a tight spiral. Firmly squeeze along mat to compact roll, then continue rolling in a spiral log to seal edge. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 3 more rolls.
- Let rolls sit 10 minutes before slicing. Cut each roll into 1" pieces. Garnish with sesame seeds.
