Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups water, or more to taste

  • 1 cup jasmine rice

  • 1 (8 ounce) package imitation crabmeat

  • 1 ½ cups mayonnaise

  • ½ cup diced red bell pepper

  • ½ cup chopped cashews

  • ½ cup peas

  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon curry powder

  • 2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 medium lemon, juiced

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes, adding a few more tablespoons water if needed.

  2. Transfer rice to a bowl. Stir in imitation crab, mayonnaise, bell pepper, cashews, peas, sesame oil, curry powder, green onion, and lemon juice until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 3 hours before serving.

Cook's Notes:

You can use real crab or shrimp if you like.

Mix it up a bit with more or less curry and try other options like soy sauce or mustard.
