Preparation
- Add the water to a medium pot and season with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the rinsed rice and return to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, salt, and rice vinegar. Microwave for 2 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves.
- Transfer the cooked rice to a medium bowl and pour the vinegar mixture over it, then stir well with a wooden spoon.
- Heat the canola oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the panko and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 1–2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove the pan from the heat.
- In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and Sriracha until smooth.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the seasoned rice between 2 serving bowls. Top with the crab, crispy panko, cucumber, radish, nori, scallions, sesame seeds, pickled ginger, and avocado. Drizzle the Sriracha mayonnaise over the top.
- Enjoy!
