- 200 grams Surimi crab (imitation crab)
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 piece Jalapeño, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, shred the surimi crab into fine strands using your hands or a fork.

Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or microwaving it for 10 seconds. Then, add it to the bowl with the shredded crab.
Step 3
Add the mayonnaise, lime juice, minced jalapeño, and soy sauce to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Gently fold in the green onions, ensuring even distribution without breaking the delicate crab strands.
Step 5
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust lime juice, jalapeño, or soy sauce based on your preference for acidity, heat, or saltiness.
Step 6
Serve immediately as a filling for sushi rolls, as a topping for crackers, or as part of a seafood-inspired appetizer platter. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
