Best homemade seaweed snack recipe with store-bought ingredients

If you like sushi but are looking for a quick method to having it. This is it folks! My son asks for this exact recipe at least once per week. We both eat it up and enjoy it almost as much as sushi.

The only difference is there is little effort to making this. As it just consists of “shredded imitation crab meat, lemon juice and mayo with some special seasonings.

In our house we crave sushi often, and prefer to make it at home vs ordering it as it saves us a ton of money and is also super easy to make once you learn yourself.

This recipe doesn’t need a mold, rather you just shape it with your hands once the sushi rice is cooked and seasoned and allowed to cool. Once cooled, you simply will place the seaweed.
