Asian Avocado Cucumber Jackfruit No-cook Rice Salad Shellfish Spicy

Perhaps the most ubiquitous sushi dish in America, California Rolls are an easy introduction to Japanese flavors. In this deconstructed version, all the elements of traditional California Rolls come together in a rustic, delicious bowl. Creamy avocado, crunchy cucumbers, tangy sushi rice, and the centerpiece - fresh crabmeat. All under a tower of salty nori seaweed and generous drizzle of Spicy Mayo Sauce. No rolling required or sushi mats needed. Remember: the quality of your crab will really shine through here, so aim to get the freshest available. Dungeness crab or jumbo lump crabmeat are ideal, but cooked shrimp is also a good substitute.

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Toppings (Optional)
  • coconut aminos
  • sesame seeds
Instructions
  1. Step 1: Cook the sushi rice if you have not done so yet. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Then slice the avocado, cucumber, and seaweed sheets.
  2. Step 2: Combine all Spicy Mayo Sauce ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Store in refrigerator.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: To make about 2 cups of sushi rice: Cook 1 cup of sushi rice according to package directions (it will usually say that it is specifically for sushi directly on the front of the package). While the rice is cooking, in a small pot, heat 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt together over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. When the rice has finished cooking, pour the vinegar solution over the hot rice and stir to combine. Allow to cool fully before using.

Creamy avocado, crunchy cucumbers, tangy sushi rice, and the centerpiece - jackfruit. All under a tower of salty nori seaweed and generous drizzle of Spicy Mayo Sauce. No rolling required or sushi mats needed. Rather than imitation crabmeat, this dish uses shredded jackfruit tossed in the creamy and spicy sauce.
