How To Make Spicy Kani Salad

You’re going to thinly slice the ingredients, starting with the crab sticks. You can either shred them completely by hand or use a knife to speed up the process. First cut the crab sticks in half, width-wise, then slice them up. You can shred them further with your hands to get the best size (about a 1/4″) for this salad. It’s perfectly fine to “eyeball it”. Add the crab slices to a mixing bowl.

Next chop off the ends of the cucumber. Cut width-wise into 3 equal sections, then slice into strips about the same size as the crab strips. Add them to the bowl.

Peel the mango. Chop into thin slices, then further slice the pieces into thin strips. Add to bowl.

Pour in 2/3 cup of panko breadcrumbs for added crunch.

Next mix up the easy dressing. Whisk together sriracha and mayo. Top salad and toss to coat ingredients. It’s ready to serve!

Cooking Tips

• English cucumbers work best in this recipe
• Once sliced, the crab, cucumber, and mango strips should be about 3″ long and 1/4″ wide
• Can add more or less sriracha to taste

What Is Kani Meat?

Crab! It’s a staple in Japanese dishes. In this recipe, we used imitation crab for a similar flavor and texture but more budget-friendly option.

How Do You Make Spicy Kani Dressing?

Kani Salad is typically dressed with Japanese mayo, with an added kick of sriracha.

What To Serve With Kani Salad
