Description

These fresh spring rolls with imitation crab and vegetables are reminiscent of a spicy sushi roll and make for a quick and easy appetizer.

Ingredients

3/4 cup imitation crabmeat
1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce, or to taste
4 rice paper wrappers
1 carrot, cut into matchsticks
1 green onion, cut into matchsticks
1/2 ripe avocado, sliced lengthwise into 8 pieces
1/3 English cucumber, cut into matchsticks

Directions

1 Shred crabmeat using 2 forks or a food processor.
2 Combine crabmeat, mayonnaise, and Sriracha sauce in a small bowl.
3 Add 2 inches hot water to a shallow bowl. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper into water to soften, about 3 seconds; transfer to a wooden cutting board or a clean, moist dish towel. Layer 1/4 each carrot, green onion, avocado, cucumber, and crabmeat mixture on bottom third of rice paper.
4 Pull bottom of rice paper over filling; fold sides of wrapper in, using your fingers to prevent filling from spilling out sides. Continue rolling tightly to enclose filling. Place roll seam-side down on a plate. Repeat with remaining rice papers, carrot, green onion, avocado, cucumber, and crabmeat mixture.
