# Ingredients:

→ Bowl Base

01 - 3 cups of cooked rice, white or brown
02 - 8 oz of imitation crab, chopped into small pieces
03 - 1 avocado, cut into chunks
04 - 1 cucumber, chopped up
05 - ¼ cup of fresh cilantro, minced

→ Eel Sauce

06 - ¼ cup of granulated sugar
07 - ¼ cup of soy sauce
08 - 3 tablespoons of mirin

→ Spicy Mayo

09 - 1 tablespoon of Sriracha sauce
10 - ¼ cup of mayo

→ Toasted Panko

11 - ¼ cup of olive oil
12 - 1 cup of Panko crumbs

# Instructions:

01 - Make rice following the method on the package. Dice the crab, cucumber, avocado, and cilantro.
02 - In a small dish, stir the mayo together with Sriracha until combined. Chill it in the fridge or set it aside.
03 - In a tiny pot, mix soy sauce, sugar, and mirin. Heat it until it boils, then lower to a simmer for 5 minutes to let it thicken. Let it cool completely.
04 - Heat a pan over medium, then add Panko and olive oil. Cook and regularly stir for 2-3 minutes until the crumbs are golden and toasty. Move to a plate to cool.
05 - Scoop rice into bowls. Add layers of crab, cucumber, avocado, and cilantro. Pour on the eel sauce and spicy mayo. Sprinkle the toasted crumbs on top to finish.

# Notes:

01 - Either brown or white rice works fine
02 - Toasted Panko stays crisp if kept in a sealed container ahead of time
03 - You can make sauces early and store in the fridge
