📝 Preparation Steps
1
make sushi rice
2
Soak 2 cups of sushi rice with water for ⏱️ 30 minutes to one hour. After soaking, pour out the water and wash the rice a few times until water runs clear (3-4 times). Strain the rice (this helps you measure the perfect amount of water to add to the rice). Add the rice and 2 cups of water to the rice cooker. We want a 1:1 ratio (rice:water).

When the rice is done, take it out in a large bowl. Fluff up the rice and let it cool for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes. Once cooled, mix with 1/4 cup vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the rice back to the rice cooker and cover until you make the sushi! We don't want to dry out the rice ◡̈

Chop up the imitation crab in 2 inch pieces. Add the crab to a bowl and mix with 1/2 cup kewpie mayo, 1 tablespoon sriracha, 2-4 teaspoon togarashi (add depending on your spice tolerance), and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. You can also eyeball this depending on your spice and mayo preferences. Set aside spicy crab in the fridge until the rice is done.

Slice the salmon and avocado in thin pieces. Chop up some green onions or chives. Take out the spicy crab from the fridge and you're ready to assemble. Get a bowl of water and wet your hands with the water. This will prevent the rice from sticking to your hands!

Gently squeeze ~2 tablespoons of sushi rice in one hand in a long oval shape. Make in a nigiri shape. Add a thin slice of salmon on top of the rice. Then, add on top thinly sliced avocado and spicy crab. Gently drizzle teriyaki sauce and sriracha on top. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Repeat until all the salmon is used. If you still have rice, fish and spicy crab left, you can make hand rolls!
