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.

Line an 8x8 pan with foil.

Place a sheet of nori into the lined pan.

Cook sushi rice according to package instructions, then mix in rice vinegar.

Wet your fingers and press half of the sushi rice into the bottom of the pan, making sure to cover the corners.

Layer sliced cucumber evenly over the rice.

Layer sliced avocado on top of the cucumber.

Add a layer of imitation crab meat evenly over the avocado.

Sprinkle a layer of seasoning (e.g., furikake) over the crab meat.

Press down the remaining sushi rice on top of the crab layer.

Cover with plastic wrap and place another pan on top to press it down.

Refrigerate for about an hour to set.
