Instructions

Shredded Crab Salad

  1. Shred the imitation crab meat by hand or with a fork. You can shred the crab like you do a cheese string. Place the crab meat into a bowl. You can leave them as long stringy pieces or roughly cut them with scissors into a smaller size.
  2. Add the mayo and sriracha into the bowl and mix until everything is combined. If you are unsure how much mayo you'd like, start with half of the mayo and sriracha and add more as you mix and taste.
  3. Toss the salad with the sesame oil.Cover and let the dish chill in the fridge until ready to serve.

Variation: Kani Salad

  1. Shred the imitation crab meat by hand or with a fork. You can shred the crab like you do a cheese string. Place the crab meat into a bowl. You can leave them as long stringy pieces or roughly cut them with scissors into a smaller size.
  2. Shred 1 cucumber, carrot, and mango and add it to the bowl.
  3. Mix to combine with the spicy mayo. If you are unsure how much mayo you'd like, start with half of the mayo and sriracha and add more as you mix and taste.
  4. Top with some panko crumbs, tempura bits, or tobiko/masago before serving.

Notes

  • I highly recommend using Japanese mayo and not regular mayo for the best flavour.
