3/4 cup Kewpie mayonnaise
-
3 tablespoons sriracha
-
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

Direction
-
Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high. Stir in rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook, undisturbed, until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Let steam, covered, for 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Transfer 1/2 cup mayonnaise mixture to a small bowl; set aside. Add kani to remaining mayonnaise mixture in large bowl, and toss to combine. Stir in masago (if using); set aside. Stir together cucumber and 1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar in a medium bowl; set aside.
-
Fluff rice using a fork. Drizzle remaining 1/4 cup vinegar over rice; using a wooden spoon, gently fold to incorporate vinegar. Divide rice mixture among 4 bowls; top with evenly divided kani mixture, cucumber, and avocado. Garnish with furikake and scallions; serve with roasted seaweed snack sheets and reserved mayonnaise mixture.
