Listen….there are a few things that garner immediate excitement from me. The Muppets, clothes in my size AND on sale, dumplings and a good food tower! It is small but grand and brimming with flavor combinations that will make your taste buds’ day. This crab tower is one of those restaurant treasures that you can easily have at home. Treat Yo Self!
1 pkg Imitation Crab (leg), shredded
1 C Sushi Rice
2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
1 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
Avocado, sliced and diced
Sriracha (to taste)
Cucumber, shredded
Mango, diced
1 Hollow Can, prepped with cooking spray
Aji Nori Furikake, optional garnish
Pickled Ginger, optional accompaniment
Soy Sauce, optional accompaniment
Prep + Assembly
So Easy!! In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise sriracha and rice vinegar, stirring them to incorporate. Combine the shredded crab with the mayo mixture. On a plate, in a hollow can, stack the following; pushing each layer down
Rice
Crab
Cucumber
Mango
Avocado
Here’s the fun part. Slowly and gently slide the can upward; carefully keeping the stack entact.
Top with a sprinkle of Nori and serve immediately. Enjoy!
*Aji Nori Furikake is a seasoning blend of roasted sesame and seaweed. I had the luck of finding it in my local market’s “international” aisle, however, if you feel so compelled, you can find it here. It works on a number of dishes including Chow Mien and Ramen. I’ve even used it on a Jammy Egg with avocado, rice and soy sauce. Perfect addition to your pantry.
