Ingredients
...King crab is a large crab that can grow to over three feet in leg span. King crab is known for its sweet flavor, which differs from east coast crabs. The legs have a slightly smoother appearance than other crabs. The meat is removed from the legs and claws and come out in soft lumps that have a stringy quality, yet is quite tender. Crab meat should always be cooked before consuming.
...Mayonnaise is a cream colored condiment and thick sauce, or spread. Mayonnaise is made by slowly adding oil to a mixture of raw egg, vinegar and seasonings, until it thickens. This is done by continuously whisking. The flavor is mild, tangy and a bit salty with a comforting quality from the creamy texture. Mayonnaise is a multi-use ingredient for sauces, cold meat salads, sandwiches and more.
...Sriracha is an extremely popular hot sauce that complements many cuisines, particularly those of East Asia. The sauce is a vibrant red color and is easy to squeeze out of the bottle with its semi-thick viscosity. The smell is sweet and spicy and the flavor is similar with a hint of tanginess and garlic. Sriracha tastes very different from any other hot sauce.
...Shichimi togarashi is a popular Japanese spice blend that is used to flavor noodles, meats and variety of savory dishes. The spice blend can be found prepackaged in the US and has an orange-brown tone composed of flakes and granules of various dried spices. It is hot and spicy with an earthy and citrusy flavor that has hints of ginger and seaweed.
