The ultimate recipe to recreate Sushiro's popular Crab Salad Gunkan at home. This time, we'll show you two ways to enjoy it: as gunkan sushi and as a donburi (rice bowl). This exquisite dish, made with imitation crab and special sushi rice, is easy to make yet offers an authentic taste. It's also highly recommended for hand-roll sushi parties.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (1 serving)

  • Imitation crab 50g
  • Cooked rice 200g
  • Nori (seaweed) to taste

Seasonings

  • [A] Mayonnaise 1.5 tbsp (25g)
  • [A] Ajishio (seasoned salt) 2 shakes
  • [A] Milk 0.5 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 1/3 tsp
  • [B] Rice vinegar 2 tsp
  • [B] Sugar 1 tsp
  • [B] Salt 1 pinch
  • [B] MSG 1 shake
  • [C] Soy sauce to taste
  • [C] Wasabi to taste

Steps

  1. Warm 200g cooked rice.
  2. Finely shred 50g imitation crab.
  3. If it's too much trouble, crush 50g imitation crab with a rolling pin or chopsticks to shred it.
  4. Put the shredded imitation crab into a bowl, add 1.5 tbsp mayonnaise (25g), 2 shakes Ajishio, 0.5 tbsp milk, and 1/3 tsp sugar, then mix well.
  5. To the warm rice, add 1 tsp sugar and 2 tsp rice vinegar.
  6. Further add 1 pinch salt and 1 shake MSG, then mix in a cutting motion to make sushi rice. 【Here's the trick!】 Mixing sushi rice with a cutting motion helps it combine well. If it's too much trouble, you can use store-bought sushi seasoning.
  7. Form the sushi rice into bite-sized ovals, shaping them like gunkan sushi.
  8. Cut the nori in half and wrap it around the shaped sushi rice.
  9. Gently press the ends of the nori with the sushi rice to secure it.
  10. Place the prepared crab salad inside the nori-wrapped sushi rice.
  11. Serve the rice in a donburi bowl.
  12. Tear and place nori to taste on top of the rice. (Chopped nori is also fine).
  13. Generously top the nori with crab salad.
  14. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi to taste, if desired.
