02 - 3 cups cooked white or brown rice
03 - 1 cucumber, diced
04 - 1 large avocado, diced
05 - 15 g fresh cilantro, chopped

06 - 60 ml soy sauce

# Steps:

01 - Ensure rice is cooked and warm. Set aside for assembly.
02 - Dice the cucumber and avocado; finely chop the imitation crab and cilantro.
03 - Combine mayonnaise and Sriracha in a small bowl. Mix until uniform, cover, and refrigerate until use.
04 - Heat soy sauce, sugar, and mirin in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Cool before using.
05 - Add Panko and olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Stir to coat the crumbs, cook 2–3 minutes, then stir continuously for 1–2 more minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and cool.
06 - Scoop rice into serving bowls. Arrange chopped crab, cucumber, avocado, and cilantro on top. Drizzle with eel sauce and spicy mayo. Finish with a generous sprinkle of toasted Panko breadcrumbs.

# Notes:

01 - To maintain crispness, top bowls with Panko crumbs just before serving. Prepare eel sauce and spicy mayo ahead for streamlined assembly.
