Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 nori sheets
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 8 imitation crab sticks
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup lump crab meat
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Optional: Sliced green onions
- Optional: Sesame seeds
- Optional: Extra drizzle of spicy mayo
Instructions
- Prepare the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice with water according to package instructions. While the rice is still warm, gently fold in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.
- Make the Volcano Topping: In a bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crab meat, mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir until creamy and well blended.
- Assemble the Rolls: Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top edge. Flip the sheet so the rice faces down. Layer cucumber, avocado slices, and imitation crab across the center. Carefully roll it tightly using the mat, applying gentle pressure. Slice the roll into even pieces using a sharp knife dipped in water.
- Add the Volcano Topping and Bake: Arrange the sliced rolls on a baking sheet. Spoon the seafood mixture generously on top of each piece. Place under a broiler for 3–5 minutes, just until the topping is bubbly and lightly golden.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- This mixture should be rich, slightly spicy, and smooth. Adjust the heat depending on your preference.
- Keep a close eye while broiling to prevent burning.
- For garnish, you may add sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of spicy mayo.
