Trying the TikTok Crispy Sushi Tacos

Tofu is a plant-based option, while surimi is a less expensive seafood alternative.

sushi rice

🥗Healthier: quinoa

💰Cheaper: white rice

Quinoa is a healthier grain option, while white rice is more budget-friendly.

nori sheets

💰Cheaper: rice paper

Rice paper is a more accessible alternative for wrapping.

panko breadcrumbs

🥗Healthier: whole wheat breadcrumbs

💰Cheaper: regular breadcrumbs

Whole wheat breadcrumbs offer more fiber, while regular breadcrumbs are often cheaper.

Open the package of nori seaweed and cut two sheets into circles to make taco shells.

Place the shiny side of the nori down and add a thin layer of cooked short grain rice in the center, pressing it down with wet hands to prevent sticking.

Repeat the process for the second taco shell.

Place the taco shells in an air fryer, using a small ramekin in the middle to help hold the shape while cooking.

Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 10 minutes to make the taco shells crispy.

While the shells are cooking, shred two sticks of imitation crab into a bowl.

Add a little bit of Sriracha mayo to the shredded crab and mix together, adjusting the amount of mayo to your preference.

Slice half an avocado into cubes and set aside.

Slice two mini cucumbers thinly and set aside.

Once the taco shells are done, carefully remove them from the ramekin (spraying the ramekin with cooking oil beforehand is recommended to prevent sticking).

Fill the taco shells with the crab mixture, cucumber slices, and avocado cubes, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
