Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon sambal oelek until smooth and spicy. Fold in 4 ounces imitation crab meat and 4 ounces chopped cooked shrimp until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Lay 1 nori sheet shiny side down on a clean surface. Moisten your hands and spread a thin layer of 1/3 cup cooked sushi rice diagonally across the bottom third of the nori.
  3. Step 3: Place a few julienned cucumber sticks (about 2 tablespoons), 2-3 slices of avocado, and a generous spoonful of the spicy crab and shrimp mixture over the rice.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 1/3 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds and 1 teaspoon thinly sliced scallions over the filling.
  5. Step 5: Roll the nori sheet from the bottom corner upward to form a cone shape, sealing the edge with a little water. Repeat for remaining 5 sheets.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately with soy sauce and pickled ginger for a fresh, hand-held sushi experience.
