california sushi salad
i used to eat this a lot when i was in hong kong. here though, you cant really find it anywhere. its basically california roll without rice or seaweed. really simple

Ingredients:
imitation crab (not the frozen one, from japan)

cucumber

kewpie mayonaise

tobiko (not masago)

Prep the imitation crab but separating it into strips. Prep the cucumber by cutting off the ends and using the cut piece, rub the cut faces together. you will notice a white foam form. i remember someone telling me this takes away the bitterness of the cucumber. not sure what it does, but i do it everytime now. i also do it to zuchinnis. using a mandolin, juliene the cucumber so its the same length as the imitation crab.

mix the imitation crab and cucumber together and coat lightly with mayonnaise. top with tobiko for presentation or you can just mix it in.

if you want you can put a bit of wasabi into the mayo and mix it together before putting the salad together. inherently, the imitation crab is a bit fishy so the wasabi can help with that
