Made as written, but added some matchstick carrot along with the cucumber. Perfect, quick, and easy no-reheat lunch during a busy workday in the summer! Scratches the itch for sushi without breaking the bank.

Why use Everything Bagel seasoning when you could give the krab an authentic taste with Old Bay seasoning?

Love this recipe, have been making it for a while now. I’m not huge on cucumber so I replace with peas!

You can find recipes to make the seasoning online.

I really like this.  I've made it multiped times.  I typically buy the leg-style imitation crab in the store brand - this lets me make the bites of crab as small or as large as I want.  I typically halve the cukes and scoop out the seeds with a small spoon before cutting into bite-sized pieces, especially the older cukes with the well-developed seeds.

Hello.....I made this except I didnt have the everything bagel seasoning....booohoooo...I think that would of made my day as far as taste.

Why does this work? It’s tasty, refreshing, and easy to make. I totally wasn’t expecting it to be good. 

The first time I tried this I used chicken and no seasonings. I didn't have everything bagle and I'm not aBIG fan of Sriracha. It was sad, boring and tasteless. I just tried it again as written and WOW! It is SO GOOD!! Glad I have it a second chance

I was scared because I've never tried cottage cheese before - this was a fantastic step into that world. Texture usually bothers me, but here the curds had the consistency of rice to me, which was very appropriate. This filled my sushi craving wonderfully and didn't break the bank! I'm really excited to try again with avocado - as well as budget bytes' other cottage cheese recipes.

I bought my first ever bottle of sriracha and I'm worried it's going to go to waste, because I'm not loving it, but! This is still a 5/5 recipe. Loved the rest, although I did my own veggies. I steamed 3 broccoli florets and a carrot in the microwave. Anyway, this is the first BudgetBytes recipe I tried and I had my doubts on how filling they would be, but I'm impressed. It kept me full for hours and hours.
