  • 6 oz imitation crab, shredded (or real crab meat)

For Garnishing:

  • Green onions, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare the Rice: Rinse and cook sushi rice according to package instructions. Mix with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, then let it cool.
  • Prepare the Fillings: Cut the cucumber and avocado into thin slices. Shred the imitation crab.
  • Roll the Sushi:
    • Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat.
    • Spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a small space at the top.
    • Add cucumber, avocado, and crab meat near the bottom edge.
    • Roll tightly using the sushi mat, pressing gently to seal.
  • Make the Lava Topping: In a bowl, mix cooked shrimp, shredded crab, spicy mayo, eel sauce, and masago.
  • Add the Topping: Slice the sushi roll and place pieces on a plate. Spoon the seafood mixture on top of each piece.
  • Broil or Torch: Broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes or use a kitchen torch to lightly char the topping.
  • Garnish and Serve: Drizzle with eel sauce and spicy mayo. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onions, and tempura flakes. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust spice level by adding more or less sriracha.
  • Real crab can be used for a richer flavor.
