Notes
- For extra protein, you can add cooked shrimp or salmon to your bowls.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite sushi toppings like finely diced carrots, edamame, or thinly sliced radishes.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of sriracha in the crab mixture.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but are best enjoyed fresh.
