California Roll Bowl
Don’t miss one delicious recipe from Created by Diane and get my FREE e-cookbook click here!
This bowl if full of all the delicious flavors of a California Roll, and I made some super fantastic sauce to go on top.
This deconstructed California Roll is so easy to make.
Now, no matter how many times my kids ask me to get them California Rolls, I can just whip these up quickly to give them what they want…
but the homemade version.
It starts with some basics.
The key ingredient is Crab, it’s readily available at grocery stores and is a great protein to have on hand for this and many other easy recipes.
It’s perfect straight out of the package, which would be great in Mac and Cheese and I can’t wait to try it in this Beer and Cheese Dip!
Louis Kemp Crab Delights® are made from Alaska Pollock and real snow crab. Alaskan Pollock is a highly sustainable Alaskan caught whitefish and commonly used in fish sticks. It’s high in omega 3’s and it’s a great healthy snack, it’s gluten-free, low calorie, ready to eat.
If you prefer the crab with mayo, just add the crab with mayo with a little salt in the food processor and blend it and scoop it out onto your plate, a bed of rice, or shredded cabbage.
- 3 cups cooked rice (Calrose Rice 1½ cups rice cooked with 2 cups water)
- 1 8 oz package Louis Kemp Crab Delights Flake
- 2 carrots julienned
- 1 English cucumber sliced into thick strips
- 2 green onion diced
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- 1 large sheet roasted seaweed (cut into small strips)
- Black sesame seeds
- Place ¾ cup rice in each bowl (to have plenty of space to fit the other ingredients, it's best to use a half-rounded scoop of rice, so there is plenty of room around the edges to place the remaining ingredients without them spilling out of the bowls)
- rice is best at room temperature to warm, vs ice cold.
- Remove crab pieces from the package and cut into smaller bite-sized pieces.
- Place all ingredients on top of rice.
- Serve with my Asian Sauce, recipe follows)
- Place black sesame seeds on top.
This recipe is easy to make, just pick up a pack of Imitation crab in the refrigerated seafood section of your grocery store and in minutes…
you’ll be enjoying a BOWL full of yumminess.
Now keep scrolling down, I have a great sauce for this dish too!
This sure is a WONDERFUL sauce, and I can’t wait to use is more.
It only takes a minute to whip up with an immersion blender.
This sauce is tangy and creamy and just perfect for all types of Asian recipes.
I just LOVE sauces…. don’t you!
Be sure to check out my post on Homemade Mayo if you’ll be making the mayo from scratch as I do. You can use store-bought mayo, but homemade tastes best!
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 egg yolk
- ⅓ cup oil
- 4 green onions
- ¼ teaspoon wasabi
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- Mix all ingredients with an immersion blender, the egg and oil along with vinegar will emulsify and become a thicker sauce.
- The sauce will thicken more as it chills.

I’ve been eating low carb and have made these with no rice and spiral cut the cucumber and added shaved lettuce, bean sprouts, and cilantro and they are so delicious! Alternatively you can cook some cauliflower rice add a dash of soy sauce to enjoy with dish too. I really like the crunch of the bean sprouts so that would be my favorite way to eat this!

I’m convinced that I could exist solely on crab. I can’t get enough of it! I can easily go through like three packs a week. I wish I was kidding, lol! These bowls look amazing!! Can’t wait to give them a try! Pinned!
