How to Prepare Crab Meat
Draining Excess Liquid. Begin by draining water from two cans with sustainable crab meat. The end product will be better if you get rid of as much water as possible.
Squeezing out Excess moisture: After draining the liquid, grab a small piece of crab meat and squeeze it. Squeeze out any residual moisture over the sink. Squeezing 3 handfuls of crab meat for every 6 oz provided the best consistency. Then, transfer the crab meat into a separate bowl. The goal is to get the crab meat as dry as possible. The nori sheet will become damp, compromising the quality of your sushi roll.
Making the Spice Mix In a large bowl, combine Sriracha and Shichimi togarashi. Mix them until they are smooth and creamy. For this recipe, I use two spoons but any tool will work.
How to make the Spicy Crab Roll
Spread toasted sesame seed generously on your nori sheet. Spread a layer on nori and cover the edge with sushi rice.
Place the spicy crab filling. Now that the rice is in place, the main ingredient can be placed. Spread out your spicy crab mixture in a thin, neat line, about 2cm in width, in the middle of the nori sheet.
Starting the roll: Roll the sushi using your thumbs or fingers. It may seem difficult at first, but you will get the hang it with some practice. Check out my article “How to Roll Sushi” for a detailed step-by-step guide.
