Hi,

My bf's mom was in town for a few days and she got some imitation crab. What should I do with it?

I'd be awesome if I could make homemade california rolls, but i don't have the ingredients nor the money to get them.

Whats something yummy with imitation crab in it?

    This is weird, but my grandma used to cook it...she's chinese :D so I guess it's asiany.

    She'd chop up the crab sticks, whisk up eggs, put them in, then into a bowl, then she steamed it...so the egg cooks all puffy add soy sauce...amaaaaazing :D

    I eat it with soy sauce. You can add it to a stir fry or soup. I like it just plain too. I eat it atleast 1-2 times a week. You could put it on a salad or in a wrap.

    Here's what I used to do with it when I used to eat imitation crab. (It's high glycemic, so I don't eat it anymore.)

    I would sauteed some onions and portabella or ****ake mushrooms. I'd heat up the fake crab. I'd put them together in a flour tortilla, then put some swiss cheese on it and warm it up to melt the cheese. Then on top of all that, I'd put sour cream and some homemade salsa.

    If you can find a way to make that work for your diet, it really is yummy. YOu can put other veggies in it too.

    Not much of a diet food, but if your calorie allowance allows it, it is tasty.
