Ingredients

  • 8 ounces kanikama imitation crab sticks
  • ½ cucumber
  • 2 tbsp green onion chopped
  • 3 tbsp turnips
  • tbsp kewpie Japanese mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp ponzu
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha

Instructions

  • Slice the kanikama into thin strips and add them to a large bowl.
  • Next, cut the green onions into small pieces and add half of them to the bowl. Set the rest aside. Cut the turnips into small pieces and add all of those to the bowl.
  • Cut the half a cucumber into two, so you have two quarters and slice it into strips of around the same size and shape as the crab sticks and set the cucumber strips aside.
  • Be sure to mix the wet ingredients for the salad dressing in a separate bowl first before adding everything to the large bowl so it can mix thoroughly, then pour it all into the large bowl with the imitation crab meat.
  • Finally, give it a good toss to ensure everything is completely coated.
  • Plate the cucumber as a bed to put the kanikama sauce mix on top of, then garnish it with the leftover green onions.
