  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 3 stalks green onions

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo mat, spread a thin layer of rice over it, leaving a 1-inch strip at the top edge.

  5. 5

    Spread a line of the spicy mayo along the center, top with crab and a sprinkle of green onions, then roll tightly using the mat.

  6. 6

    Slice each roll into 6 pieces, drizzle with remaining spicy mayo, and sprinkle with tempura bits and extra green onions.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately, with extra sriracha on the side if you like it hotter.
