Servings

Crab Filling

  • 1 pack imitation crab (250 – 300 grams, cut into bite sized pieces)
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise Japanese mayonnaise, or regular mayonnaise, kewpie brand
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoon soy sauce
  • 3 Nori sheets (cut each sheet into 4 squares)

Sushi Cups

  • cup sushi rice uncooked jasmine rice, plus water measurement according to package, uncooked
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 avocado
  • ½ cucumber (English or 2 baby/Persian cucumbers)

Optional Spicy Mayo (Store-bought or Homemade)

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise Japanese mayonnaise, or regular mayonnaise, kewpie brand
  • 2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce

Garnish

  • green onions (sliced)
  • sesame seeds
  • mayonnaise spicy

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Prepare the rice stove top or in a rice cooker according to package directions. Once the rice has finished cooking transfer to a bowl and stir in the rice vinegar. Set the rice aside until ready to assemble.
  3. To prepare the crab filling, in a large bowl combine the diced crab, kewpie mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, and low sodium soy sauce. Gently mix and set aside to marinate.
  4. If using homemade spicy mayo for garnish, combine the mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl and mix until fully combined. Set aside.
  5. Working on a cutting board or plate, add 2 tablespoons of the seasoned rice to each nori square. Flatten the rice in the center of the nori (do not push the rice out to the edges of the nori, keep it in the center only).
  6. Press each nori sheet with rice into the cups of a 12 count muffin tin. Gently press the rice down to spread it out on the bottom of the muffin tin.
  7. Add about 2 tablespoons of the crab on top of the rice.
  8. Bake in the oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the nori has gotten crispy. Optional: broil for 1-2 minutes until the top is crispy and golden.
  9. While the sushi cups bake, peel and remove the seed from the avocado. Dice into very small pieces. Dice the cucumber into very small pieces.
  10. Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
  11. Add a spoon of avocado and cucumber on top of each sushi cup. Drizzle spicy mayo over top of the sushi cups. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
