Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup crab meat
  • 1/2 cup Mango
  • 2 avocado mashed
  • 1/3 cup cucumber shredded
  • 4 nori seaweed sheets cut up
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds mixed types
  • 1 scallion chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups sushi rice cooked
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Notes

  • This crab sushi is easier than the classic way of making sushi where you roll the sushi and slice it.
  • Also no sushi rolling matt is required here!
  • The flavors here are similar to a california roll, except for the mango.
  • Mango sushi is super flavorful because the sweetness compliments the spicy mayo, soy sauce, cucumber, crab meat and avocado so well!
  • Choose the measuring cup you prefer, and remember the width will be the final size of your sushi stack. So a one cup measuring cup for example will need to be cut up, because it’s too big for a single bite.
  • The best size for a single (huge) bite would be the 1/4 cup.
  • The layering has to start with the ingredient you want to show first. So for this recipe we started with the mango and that’s why it showed over the top.
  • Use mashed avocados here so that it acts as a glue to stick the ingredients together in the sushi stack.
  • For the seaweed, cut it up roughly to the shape of your measuring cup. It doesn’t have to be perfect!
  • For the sushi rice, I cook mine over the stove not using a rice cooker. It’s always best to start by preparing the rice, and while the rice is cooking you can start chopping and preparing your ingredients.
  • The sushi rice has to be the final and last layer of the sushi stack so make sure to press it down very well.
  • Use a knife and run it around the measuring cup to unmold the sushi stack. Flip the stack over a plate and then tap gently over the bottom of the cup to make sure the sushi stack falls smoothly over a plate.
  • Dress up the sushi stack with some spicy mayo and soy sauce and sesame seeds.
  • Enjoy!
