Cooking Procedures:

Step 1

Julienne the cucumber into thin strips.

Step 3

Mix the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together Kewpie mayo and rice vinegar.

Step 4

Toss kani and cucumber in the dressing until evenly coated.

Step 5

Serve with fresh lettuce leaves, for added texture and visual appeal. Best enjoyed either as a side dish or atop sushi rice.
