Tips & Variations

• Use real crab meat instead of imitation crab for a more authentic and luxurious flavor.
• Adjust the sriracha amount to tone down or increase the heat according to your preference.
• For extra texture, add diced cucumber, avocado, or shredded nori sheets on top.
• Use brown rice or sushi rice if you prefer a different texture or flavor profile.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The rice may harden, so it’s best to reheat gently in the microwave and fluff the rice before serving. Add fresh toppings after reheating for the best texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
