For the Sushi Rice

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions, about 15-20 minutes on medium heat. Mix in rice wine vinegar and salt, then cool.
  2. Shred imitation crab and mix with sriracha, Kewpie mayo, and salt until well combined.
  3. Prepare a clean cutting board with neutral oil. Soften rice paper sheets in warm water, layer on cutting board with nori sheet on top.
  4. Spread crab mixture on one half of the nori, add cucumber and avocado. Layer cooled sushi rice on remaining sections.
  5. Fold the sandwich by bringing the bottom rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides and press to seal.
  6. Heat oil in a skillet. Fry sandwich on both sides for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Let cool slightly before cutting in half. Serve warm with spicy mayo for dipping.
