Equipment

  • Colander
  • Paper Towels

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing the English cucumbers into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle the slices with salt and let them rest in a colander for 15-20 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cucumber slices with diced crab and avocado. Add a dollop of mayonnaise, cream cheese, and drizzle with soy sauce. Gently fold to combine without mashing the avocado.
  3. Seal the bowl or transfer to a container with a lid. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds to blend the flavors. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
  4. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving for garnish, adjusting quantity based on texture preference.
