This dish is a deconstructed version of the California roll, which typically includes crab (real or imitation), cucumber and avocado. Ree skips the avocado and doubles down on crunch with shredded carrots and canned fried onions. She tops it all with pickled ginger, sesame seeds and seaweed snacks, which are a nod to the nori seaweed found in many rolls.

YUM! Used canned lump crab meat. Easy and quick!
OMG! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would! This was SO good! These are the things I either left out or subbed
Can lump crab meat instead of imitation crab
Did not use seaweed, sesame seeds, or scallion
Used frozen onion rings cooked in the oven.
Will absolutely make again!

So very good. I added a little baby spinach and very little seaweed cut up in very small pieces because I don’t care for the taste but it had it just the right amount of flavor. This will be added to my rotation list. So quick and easy.
This was really good. I love all the textures and flavors. I added a little honey to the dressing. Great lunch!
Excellent meal. I left out the seaweed and then substituted the fried onion with wonton strips and the rice for spring mix lettuce. Will definitely keep this one close and make it regularly.
So so good. We had it two nights in a row for dinner we couldn’t get enough!
This was good. I doubled the crab because I thought it was too saucy. I used regular brown rice and added avocado because that is what I had on hand.
Really enjoyed this sushi bowl! So flavorful and fresh tasting. It’s a keeper!
This is soooo good and so easy to make! Real crab is best and easy to get these days! Check your superstores:). This is a keeper❤️
Creative but please don’t eat fake crab. It’s disgusting. I’ve seen the process to make imitation crabmeat . It’s extruded fish paste with a ton of sodium.
