Ingredients
 

  • 6 mini cucumbers

Rice

  • 1/2 cup white rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Crab Filling

  • 3/4 cup imitation crab
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp granulated garlic

Creamy Chili Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Make rice according to package directions. When finished cooking, remove lid, and stir in salt, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until fully incorporated. Set aside.
  • While rice is cooking, prepare cucumbers and crab filling.
    1. Slice cucumbers lengthwise. Use a spoon to core out the cucumber 'meat'. Set aside.

    Prepare chili mayonnaise if desired in a small dish; whisk sweet chili sauce and mayonnaise together with a fork.

  • Serve immediately & enjoy!
