For best results, use high-quality imitation crabmeat. The flavor will be more authentic and enjoyable. Don't overfill the spring rolls, or they will be difficult to roll and may tear. A little goes a long way! If the rice paper wrappers are sticking to each other, try lightly brushing them with water before separating them. Feel free to customize the filling with other ingredients, such as shredded lettuce, bean sprouts, or cooked shrimp. To make these spring rolls ahead of time, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Serve chilled.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Crab Mixture (5 minutes): In a medium bowl, gently shred the imitation crabmeat using two forks or a food processor until it's finely separated.
02
Step
2 mins
Combine Ingredients (2 minutes): Add the Japanese mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce to the shredded crabmeat. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined. Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your preferred level of spiciness.
03
Step
3 mins
Soften Rice Paper (3 minutes): Fill a shallow dish with warm water (about 2 inches deep). Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for approximately 3-5 seconds, until it becomes pliable and soft. Be careful not to over-soak, as it will become too sticky and difficult to work with.
04
Step
5 mins
Assemble the Spring Roll (5 minutes per roll): Lay the softened rice paper wrapper on a clean, damp cutting board or a moist dish towel. Arrange 1/4 of the carrot, green onion, avocado, cucumber, and crabmeat mixture on the bottom third of the rice paper, leaving about an inch of space on each side.
05
Step
2 mins
Roll the Spring Roll (2 minutes per roll): Gently pull the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling. Fold in both sides of the wrapper towards the center, using your fingers to keep the filling neatly contained. Continue rolling the spring roll tightly away from you, until it's completely sealed. Place the finished roll seam-side down on a plate to prevent it from unrolling.
06
Step
10 mins
Repeat (10 minutes): Repeat steps 3-5 with the remaining rice papers, carrot, green onion, avocado, cucumber, and crabmeat mixture, until all the spring rolls are assembled.
07
Step
0 mins
Serve Immediately: Serve the Spicy Crab Spring Rolls immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ponzu or sweet chili sauce. Alternatively, you can chill them for later, but they are best enjoyed fresh.
