Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir into the warm rice and set aside.
In another bowl, mix the imitation crab with mayonnaise and sriracha (if using) to create a creamy crab salad.
Divide the seasoned rice between two bowls.
Top each bowl with crab salad, avocado, cucumber, shredded carrots, and nori strips.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.
Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.

Notes

For a low-carb option, swap rice with cauliflower rice.
Add extra toppings like edamame, green onions, or spicy mayo drizzle.
Use real crab if available for a more authentic flavor.
