CRAB AND CUCUMBER ROLLS

Steps:

• Mince the two scallions.
• In a bowl, mix the snow crab meat, the scallions, and the japanese mayonnaise.
• Peel the cucumber. Using a peeler or a mandoline, make thin slices of cucumber along the length of the cucumber. Slices will be about an inch wide and 10 inches long. Do not use the seedy part of the cucumber.
• Lay a slice of the cucumber, scoop a tablespoon of the crab mixture and deposit at one end of the cucumber slice. Starting at the crabmeat end, roll the cucumber slice to make a small cylinder. Hold the roll together with a toothpick or a small bamboo skewer. Repeat until all the crabmeat has been used up.
