Step 1
Prepare imitation crab. If you're using refrigerated imitation crab, simply remove imitation from plastic packaging. Most imitation crab will have an additional wrapping on each crab stick. If imitation crab sticks are individually wrapped, remove plastic covering on each. Refrigerated imitation crab sticks are ready to eat as is. However, if you have frozen imitation crab, defrost in the fridge overnight. Alternatively, you can also soak entire package in warm water for 15 to 30 minutes or until defrosted.
Step 2
Once imitation crab has been defrosted and removed from all packaging, cut into bite sized pieces. Set aside.
Step 3
