Did You Know? Surimi crab sticks aren’t real crab. Surimi originated in Japan over 900 years ago. Modern imitation crab was popularized in the 1970s as an affordable seafood alternative. It consists of washed minced fish to remove odor and impurities, then formed into a protein-rich paste.
Ingredients
- Rice Sheets
- Surimi Crab Sticks

Instructions
- Fill a bowl with water. Dip one rice sheet into the water for 5–10 seconds, just until it becomes soft and flexible. Remove and place it flat on a dry surface. Do not oversoak.
- Place a surimi crab stick at the edge of the rice sheet.
- Fold the rice sheet over the crab stick then roll tightly.
