Spicy Kani Salad - a sushi shop favorite you can make at home! Our spicy kani salad recipe taste just like the dish you order at your neighborhood Japanese. Spicy Kani Salad is a tribute to balance: cool and spicy, silky and crisp, sweet and tart, light and filling. The spicy dressing caresses the smooth cooling ribbons of cucumber, crab meat and mango, sprinkled with crunchy panko.
