SUBSTITUTES & INGREDIENTS
Ingredients for Spicy Crab Rolls on the counter.
Kani crab meat, commonly known as kanikama or imitation crab, is a popular component in California rolls. Canned crab meat can be used instead.
Sriracha Sauce: Sriracha is a spicy sauce made with chili peppers, vinegar, garlic, and salt. Reduce the amount of hot sauce if you like a milder flavor, and increase the amount if you want a more spicy flavor. My favorite brand is Huy Fong. Chili sauce can be used in place of the ketchup.
Mayonnaise: Gives the sushi a creamy texture. Instead of mayonnaise substitutes, try to find genuine mayonnaise. For a healthy alternative, use plain Greek yogurt.

STEP 1: PREPARE THE SUSHI RICE

When making sushi rice for sushi rolls, use less water. A 1:1 water-to-rice ratio is ideal.

Transfer the cooked rice to a large mixing bowl and let aside to cool somewhat. Stir in the sushi vinegar while it’s still heated (or the mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt). Mix thoroughly.

RECIPE SUGGESTIONS FOR THE BEST SPICY CRAB ROLL

Dip your hands into Tezu water before handling the sushi rice to prevent the rice from adhering to your palms. Made with 1/4 cup water and 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, it’s a hand dipping drink.

You’ll need to squeeze the sushi roll softly yet forcefully when rolling it. After you’ve finished, lay the mat over the roll and gently squeeze it one more. The sushi roll will not come apart as a result of this.
Sriracha sauce adds a kick to the spicy crab wrap. To make your rolls more or less spicy, modify the quantities. You may also make a non-spicy version with mayonnaise.
If you’re using canned crab meat, make sure to wring out all of the excess liquid so your crab salad filling isn’t too watery.
