    • 💧 3 cups water
    • ½ cup rice vinegar
    • 🍬 ½ cup white sugar
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt

  • Cream Base

    • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
    • 6 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • Filling

    • 2 cups imitation crabmeat
    • 🥒 2 cups thinly sliced cucumber
    • 🥑 1 medium avocado, thinly sliced
    • 1 (8 ounce) package cold cream cheese, cut into thin strips

STEPS

1

Rinse rice under cool water until water is no longer cloudy and runs clear. Combine rice and water in a covered saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes.

2

Mix vinegar, sugar, and salt together in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool.

3

Combine softened cream cheese and mayonnaise in a blender; process until creamy.

4

Transfer cooked rice to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 of the vinegar sauce over the hot rice; mix gently. Taste and add more vinegar sauce if desired.

5

Empty 1/2 of the cooked rice into a springform pan; press down gently to fill the bottom of the pan.

6

Spread 1/2 of the cream cheese-mayonnaise mixture on top of the rice in the pan.

7

Layer crabmeat, cucumber, avocado, and cold cream cheese over top, in that order.

8

Spread remaining cream cheese-mayonnaise mixture over top. Empty remaining rice into the pan and press downwards until layers are firmly packed.

9

Garnish with sesame seeds. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

10

To serve, mix soy sauce, orange juice, and lime juice in a bowl. Dismount the sushi cake from the springform pan and serve it with the soy sauce.
