Ingredients

Rice cup:

  • 1 cup Sushi Rice
  • 2 TBSP rice vinegar

Filling:

  • 3/4 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 TBSP Soy Sauce
  • 1.5 TBSP Rice Vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sriracha
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1-1/3 cup diced English cucumbers
  • 1 large avocado diced
  • 1 cup of imitation crab meat chopped

Drizzle:

  • 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp sriracha or to taste
  • Green onions to garnish *optional

Instructions

  • Cook rice according to the package directions. In a bowl combine rice and vinegar until it is sticky and holds together.
  • In a 12 cup muffin tin, line them with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the rice among the cups and push them against the sides and make a little divot in the top. Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill and set.
  • While that is chilling, make your filling. Mix together the sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sriracha and ginger.
  • In a separate bowl combine the crab meat, avocado and cucumber. Pour the sauce over it , toss and let it chill in the refrigerator till the rice is ready.
  • Combine the mayonnaise and sriracha and also place back in the fridge. I put it in a little plastic bag and cut the tip off to do the drizzle once the cups were made.
  • Peel rice out of the parchment paper and fill with the filling.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the cups and top with green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
