How-To Make Pan Sushi

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

imitation crab

🥗Healthier: real crab meat

💰Cheaper: cooked shrimp

Real crab adds authentic flavor, while shrimp is often more affordable.

sriracha

🥗Healthier: hot sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup + hot sauce

Hot sauce provides similar heat with fewer calories.

nori sheets

🥗Healthier: seaweed snacks

💰Cheaper: rice paper

Rice paper is often less expensive and still provides a wrap.

Press sushi rice down into the bottom of the pan.

Mix imitation crab with a little mayonnaise to help it stick together.

Add sriracha or chopped fresh jalapenos to the crab mixture if desired.

Layer the crab mixture over the pressed rice in the pan.

Add a second layer of sushi rice on top of the crab mixture.

Cut cucumber into strips and layer them on top of the rice.

Add sliced avocado on top of the cucumber.

Sprinkle sesame seeds or bagel seasoning on top.

Serve with seaweed snacks for scooping up the pan sushi.
