Kanimayo
I know this doesn't really belong under "Seafood" because it's not made of real crab, but I don't know where else to put this!
I love kanimayo (or crabstick mayo) to death, it was my favourite thing at train sushi restaurants and is still a guilty pleasure of mine...

how to cook.
Bring water in a small saucepan to boil, then boil the kanimi for 1-2 minutes.
2. Remove the kanimi, dry them on a paper towel, then shred them with two forks.
3. Add the sliced cucumber, 2 tbsp of mayo, ⅛ tsp of pink salt and a shake or two of pepper. Mix well.
4. Enjoy your kanimayo in a sushi bowl or in a sandwich!
5. Sushi bowl instructions:
Cook rice. I like multi-grain rice, and that's what's pictured in the ingredients section above.
Mix the sushi seasoning (as above) into the rice, or use pre-made sushi seasoning.
Sprinkle seaweed on top, then put as much kanimayo as you want.
Optional: Drizzle Japanese mayo over the top.
Mix well and eat!
6. Sandwich instructions:
Get bread.
Put kanimayo and tomato slices in the bread.
Enjoy!
