The Spicy Crab sushi roll is a fantastic recipe for people who are just starting to learn how to roll sushi at home. It’s simple to work with, simple to make, and simply satisfying.
This is very easy to make. You can use my sushi rice recipe here and also buy crab in the deli that is already cooked. From that point, it's just about rolling it all together and then enjoying it.
